Had a few leaves blow into the pool in West Ft Worth, no rain. I did look at the radar though and it looked like a really gnarly cell that blew through Dallas. Those fucking construction crews gotta keep their shit battened down if it's going to be exposed to the elements a couple hundred feet off the ground. Yikes.

I was going to call my grandmother in east, TX and tell her bad weather was coming as normal after bad stuff in DFW area. 3-4 hours later radar was totally clear and nothing in TX or LA and the nearest thing on radar was Ohio or Austin. Just petered out I guess.

I was over here on Sunday as it is fairly close to my house. Just relaxing with my lady. It was pleasant and we saw rain on the horizon so when it started drizzling we made our way to the car. Within 15 minutes the lake was covered in super high winds, white cresting waves and crazy ass rain. People being idiots took no notice of this until it was on top of them and there were like 20 people kayaking at the time.
Never really experienced such insane and raw panic of a few hundred people. I was just sitting in my car watching this and there were 5 car accidents in the parking lot, people lost their beach tents. Cops showed up quickly as those kayakers/canoes whatever must have had a pretty wild ass ride. Storm moved through in barely an hour. Nonetheless that killed some woman.

It's so beautiful down there, I absolutely love the Hill Country. But God damn it's been invaded by so many hipster faggots that there's too many people around to enjoy it. Texas coast gets my weekend warrior money now and I only have to dodge the occasional hurricane.

Yeah sure. The day was totally calm for like 90% of it. Inflatable shit is totally fine for this lake most of the time. See big ass black clouds growing on the horizon... yes continue to derp around. Pretty shitty to die in a heavily populated area in the middle of such a small lake.
I mean, for fucks sake you only needed to pay a few seconds of attention to your surroundings.

We'll have to wait until the sheriff finds the body. Currently they're dredging the lake looking for her. I suspect the inflatable canoe got blown out into a field somewhere as I saw several inflatables blow across the street into some random fields. She also most likely sucked down a full tank of water so she'll be submerged until she rots a bit more. Also maybe entangled in the lakeweeds that are in this particular lake.
But yes, after that we can surely hunt down her insta.
EDIT: Yep, exactly what happened. Police found the body but name will probably be later today or something. Most likely lived in the housing development right on the lake too I am sure. Or otherwise very close by. It isn't really a place where you travel several hours to get to.

Over in my neighborhood we had a ton of downed branches, and no power until around 3pm Monday. (This is around Marsh/Forest) Some places near us still don't have power.
The house I grew up in over in Casa View still doesn't have power, as is also the case with most of that area. At least as of this morning when I checked in with my mom.
Yesterday I got the lovely experience of needing to pay to have the top third of one of my magnolias lopped off because it cracked but didn't fall out of the tree. Now knowing it won't grow any taller, looks stupid, and I will probably have to cut down the whole thing at some point.

used that to get out of the house. felt really naked since my cams were down, (security system running off battery)
I mean, honestly it's still almost physically impossible to enter my house w/o a wrecking crew, but still, not being able to check the cams for piece of mind...

The shrimping season off the coast of Louisiana is now postponed due to the Bonnet Carre spillway being open and shunting water from the MS river into the lake putting fresh water into the gulf in quantities and locations that aren't normally there.

But how is the nuclear plant, that's the question. Warning sounds kind of contradictory.
Slight sea-level changes may be observed in coastal regions, but no tsunami damage is expected, it added.

Metro Detroit has had ridiculous rain this spring as well. Only 2 or 3 bad T-storms that I can recall, but it rains every 2nd or 3rd day, all spring. I live a 2 blocks off of lake St. Clair (lake in between Huron and Erie) and it's very bloated. A lot of marinas in the area with people unable to get to their boats, rivers touching the bottom of bridges and so on. Have heard here, and other midwest places that the planting is way behind due to all the rain. Wouldnt be surprised at a general food price spike later this year.
