Tied for 6th warmest past 48 years ( last year was warmest ). 3rd driest with 1.47" rain . I think that the last 10 months going back to September was quite possibly the boringest stretch of weather I can remember. Four of those months had record or near record dryness . record dryness is also historic.... getting completely shutout of rain last October was momentous!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Claus Posted Friday at 09:19 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:19 PM the dryness of the air reminds one of autumn, of the shortening days, the return to school. it’s independence day but might as well be 6:30 pm on football sunday. soon the ticking of the 60 Minutes clock will end my weekend, and there’s still so much homework i have been ignoring 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastalplainsnowman Posted Saturday at 11:54 AM Share Posted Saturday at 11:54 AM Supposed to go to the Jersey Shore this coming week. Yesterday morning, forecasts had chance of rain under 5% for early in the week. "What could mess that up, so close to next week?", thought I. Wake up this morning to see the chance of rain is now over 70% each day. Of course! There's a ^$!#@&* tropical depression that's threatening to wreck my plans. Credible! Believeable! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago What a catastrophic situation in central TX. The area from Austin to San Antonio and north in the Hill Country is probably the worst in the nation for flash floods. There's tons of moisture from the Gulf and remnants of Barry, long term drought so the soil is hard as a rock and the water has to runoff, and the hilly terrain which rushes the water into relatively small creeks and then larger rivers. Some places reported over 20" in this event and it's still raining. I can remember how bad it got in May 2015 when I was there and Wimberley was devastated by one of these fast moving floods coming down from the hills, and water rushed through downtown Austin on Memorial Day. But this is even worse. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I wish that they would just dam up rivers that are prone to this kind of flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do, the Colorado River which goes through Austin has numerous dams that were put in as a result of floods over the years. Problem is this was so localized and stalled out so it couldn’t be diverted in time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social media is going wild right now about artificially generated storms that do not move and Grok isn't helping by stating that rain in Texas is artificially generated lmao. The good thing is people want to hold government accountable for these disasters, it's about time. https://x.com/grok/status/1941888242129002986 Yes, weather modification via cloud seeding is practiced in the US to enhance rainfall and suppress hail. In Texas, seven active programs cover ~31 million acres, overseen by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Recent bills aim to restrict it, like Sen. Hughes' SB 1154 (March 2025). It's not "chemtrails," which are a myth. Sources: TDLR, GAO report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just implied that the government is aiming to effect the weather. The reality is the complete opposite. But I’m not going to go there as it touches on politics.

Even if it's done in this way, showing rage at greedy institutions isn't a bad thing. The government of Texas is utter crap and their hypocritical *empathy* when all they care about is making money should make them think twice before backing the fossil fuel cartels. It's similar to their position on gun control when school shootings happen. It's more about climate change than it is politics (although maybe some of these people don't believe in climate change, which is ironic lol.)

Yeah I agree with all that, climate change most certainly makes these flood disasters more likely. I’m referring more to defunding research and cloud seeding is prohibitively expensive. So there is no way it’s happening on a large scale. It was tried with hurricanes in the 50/60s with silver iodide with limited results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has tried it realizes it costs more money than any benefits it produces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
