this weather sucks..... it's gah damn october and we're still in the high 70s at night time. ridiculous
Hasn't rained more than a sprinkle in Kingwood since Beryl. Rained last night and Kingwoood Drive was flooded with cars having to pull into parking lots. Literally a drought or a flood. No inbetween.
Forecast changed quickly! Rain came and went really early in the morning. It's now hot and humid and there's no relief from the sun due to no clouds. Will probably start going around the neighborhood around 6:30. Hopefully it will be cooler by then.
This is some serious Houston weather bulls!!t. "it's too rainy!" "now it's too hot/humid!" What problems to have.
California lake jumps by nearly 12 feet after atmospheric river An atmospheric river that pummeled Northern California last week helped boost the water levels at many of the state’s reservoirs, recent data shows. Levels at Lake Sonoma had jumped more than 12 feet as of Monday, raising the fill to 66% of the reservoir’s capacity. Santa Rosa, the largest city in Sonoma County, experienced an unprecedented rainfall — more than 12 inches over three days. This deluge was significant enough for the National Weather Service to call it a once-in-a-thousand-years event, as SFGATE previously reported. The historic storm ushered a tremendous amount of rain into the state early last week, causing widespread flooding, road closures and even two deaths. Lake Shasta, California’s largest reservoir, had filled to 993 feet as of Monday morning, just below levels taken at the same time in 2023 but far above 2022’s low levels, due to the severe drought that year. California reservoirs have made a massive recovery since those drought years. In 2021, houseboats on Lake Oroville, the state’s second-biggest reservoir, had to cluster in the middle of the lake as water levels waned. Fill rose to 54% of the reservoir’s capacity by Monday levels, reaching 775 feet and totaling 1.84 million acre-feet of water, Department of Water Resource operations manager Tracy Hinojosa told SFGATE. (An acre-foot is the amount of water it takes to cover 1 acre in 1 foot of liquid, normally about 326,000 gallons.) DWR is “taking advantage of the recent storm systems to capture as much water as possible in Lake Oroville while continuing to support environmental and water delivery needs to 27 million Californians,” Hinojosa said. 2024 has been a big recovery year for reservoirs across the state, including in Southern California. Lake Casitas, a Ventura County reservoir, reached full capacity in April for the first time in more than 25 years, while Big Bear Lake hit its highest point in over a decade.
