The north TX area has been like Seattle on roids the last 6 weeks... insane rain. I think the Dallas area has already had about 28 inches of rain this year, mostly in the last 2 months. That is well above what was received in all of 2006.

Really? It is sunny in emporia.

**Buehler445** · 07-09-2007, 02:57 PM

HOLY LORD that is an itty bitty storm, but it is all red on the radar.

Hehe. I sat just inside the door of my customer's building and watched the winds and rain destroy umbrellas for about twenty minutes. People were coming in from a 35 foot walk absolutely drenched from head to toe, pants included, with their umbrellas completely torn up. It was awesome.

Down by the Plaza it's still sunny skies and hot....

So.. is all the rain because of global warming, or is the several years of drought prior to this rainy season because of global warming?

One of the craziest storms I've ever witnessed. One minute it's bright outside, about 89 degrees. The next it's 67, there's booming thunder, and rain's falling harder than I think I've ever seen.

One of the coolest parts was that the wind changed direction 180 degrees in about 10m where I was.

This is not necessarily new. I used to love this kind of weather. You know, if you don't like the weather, wait 5 mins. blah, blah, blah.

Really? You should come to Springfield. Shit like that happens every year.

Just a few weeks ago, it's fine. All of a sudden it's cloudy and starts pounding rain. About a minute and a half later, it's quiet again. Within 10 minutes, you couldn't see a cloud in the sky.
