Epic flood around San Antone. Guadalupe River at Comfort is flowing at 69,000 CFS right now, tubing flow is 5-700.
They're predicting Canyon Lake will come up about 15 feet. Too bad the heavy stuff isn't in the Colorado River basin.
"Major Flood Event" on the Pedernales in Johnson City 38,000 cfs and rising, first since the crazy flood of 2007. All heading into Lake Travis, along with all the boat docks, boats, and other crap that have been sitting in the drainage for the past 8 years.
Blanco River is within a foot of the all-time recorded high, set in 1929. People are on their rooftops.
These Rockets losses have made the basketball gods very angry. Rockets need to win the next game or the great flood will kill us all.
Ya that stuff woke my ass up... We all told ourselves we'd never b!tch about rain again after the 2011 debacle but cmon, this is getting ridiculous. It's like we moved to seattle.
Not filled but it'll come up some. Travis won't get full until they can start regularly releasing significant water from Buchanan.
Unfortunately, some of the heaviest rain missed the Pedernales basin by not much, and it fell in South Blanco County in the Blanco River basin. Flood stage on the river in the town of Blanco is 13 feet, it crested this morning at 38 feet. Blanco State Park literally washed away, water was over 281 and they had the highway shut down for a while. I'm headed out in a bit to have a look around at the creeks and whatnot, I may make it down to Paleface to check the Pedernales.
A tornado touched down just north of San Antonio supposedly. This is going to be a wild summer. Not to start a debate (jk, totally to start a debate) could one attribute this extreme weather to global warming?
It's like smoking. Nobody can ever say that one individual case of lung cancer is beyond a doubt connected to smoking. You can only say a population of smokers will have more lung cancer than a population of nonsmokers. I think the weak el Nino is supposed you be the big factor, though.
Not global warming, but mostly due to fracking. Our unquenchable thirst for oil has brought us to this path. Fracking has led to all sorts of issues from baseline earthquakes to contamination of drinking water. We don't really see these types of tornadoes in states that do not partake in fracking. I'm not really familiar with what fracking is all about, but I read a story about it for the first time in Reader's Digest the other day while waiting in line at the grocery store.
No, its more in line with following the tornado to homosexual ratio. God's wrath is particularly strong this year.
