3 inches of much needed rain. - 04/24/22 12:22 PM
Bad side is it came down real hard and most just run off. The good side of the bad side is the ponds got a big drink of the run off, some were getting spooky low.

Praying the forecast becomes true for today and tomorrow. The south wind was relentless Friday night and Saturday. Dry as a powder house.

Love the rain, but too much in a short period of time can be taxing. MY French drain clogged with debris and it was
me, towels, Shop-Vac, and bucket on the back porch. Also, several trips inside to empty the bucket in the toilet inside.
We prevailed, just some drying out to do.
Dang my old back.

Chances look good for us to get some rain late today and tomorrow
I am not much on keeping my yard a lush green, but if I didn't water it, it would crunchy brown. The water bill is going to suck.

By May's end, we may be needing a break from the rain.

That would be a typical May for us, bring it.

Nothing projected 'til 10pm for my area. I hope and pray they're right. 'See something in the northern Mexico mountains. God bless those mountains. I had hoped to see them someday, but I don't think that's gonna happen.

Good news is the house got 3-4 inches of rain, bad news is the big ranch didn't catch a dam thing. The rain kind of hung up along I-20 and run east.

Yesterday up until 10:00 pm we got very little, started raining around 1:00 am I guess and just ended about 5:30 this am.
Will check the rain gauge later.
Question; I have a half moon rain gauge that I use, neighbor who lives 3 doors down to the east of us has a full circle/round rain gauge that consistently records a 1/2" of rain or more than my rain gauge, any ideas why
Just checked the rain gauge at 6:59 am, we got 1 1/8" at my house in N Dallas.

Heard some thunder to the east as we went to bed. Thought it might be over you. Nothing here either.
'Think a small second round is going over the ranch in little bit.

Glad you got some Hwy Man!
Hell, we got .03 last night and about 18" of wind. OMG it was bad for over an hour. We've got chit scattered everywhere and even lost power for 2.5 hours which never happens at our place.
I bet we had many gusts way over 50mph last night

Re: 3 inches of much needed rain. - 04/25/22 12:53 PM
As usual when the rest of the state gets a sprinkle we get flooded, I dumped 5 3/4”s out a few minutes ago from last nights rains. We needed a little rain but damnit I’m tired of flooding rains every time a storm blows up. Our bottom pasture is under water and it’s a crock of [censored] yet again…. If any of you guys want to move to a location with plenty of rain look no farther then NE Texas on the river. If they call for an inch your looking at 3-6 inches every time.

Just the opposite here, call for 2" rain and we get 1/4" most times, if any at all.

5 1/4 in. at home/ranch (by Johnson Branch - Ray Roberts Lake).
front tank was at 1/4 - now full. Mostly soaked in - just a few puddles here in there in low spots.
If that fell over my full 40 acres, google says that's 5.4 million gallons - blows my mind!

I just checked the sensor on our irrigation system and it’s showing 6.6 inches, either way we got soaked and it sounds like everyone up here on the Red got it hard and fast all night long.

If you ever want to get an idea of how many people should not be driving a car, go to IH10 and West Avenue in San Antonio, during a rain. Many are paralyzed with fear. Who knows how many actually have a driver's license, never mind insurance. I grew up on West Avenue. It's not even the same country anymore.

Yes sir
Pretty amazing that an inch of rain on one acre equals 27,154 gallons of water!
If you got 5.25" on 40 acres it is actually over 5.7m gallons

I am praying I get home and got at least an inch in the gauge. Man we are dry there

Posted earlier that neighbor said I got 4 inches of rain South of Bowie. 3 neighbors, one about 1/8 mile from me got 4.5. However, I went there, loaded with anticipation and found that I got 2 inches. DAMN, I need a frog strangling rain . All of my ponds/tanks are either 4 to 5 ft down or dry.
But, gotta admit, that it’s been a long time since I got a 2 inch rain. It will help.
