Hey Texas guys,
How is the weather? Looks like Hermine is dumping lots of rain. Hope all of you are safe.

safe...except the occasional idiot in the low water crossing.

4" as of 6pm and still raining, but lightly.

Perry

4 inches in H town and a lot in San Antonio. But west of San Antonio out around Hondo it was not so much - so those doves should still be around!

But it is coming your way!

One thing about Texas weather...

IF you do not like it, just hang around a day or two... IT will change...

Yes this is true - and I hope it changes soon.

If I dont get this swimming pool finished there will be a great shortage of hunting at my house.

We always need rain in south Texas, but last night we had the most severe thunder storms and rainfall in over 30 years. It was like being in a hurricane. We lost power last night and had 6-12 inches of rain depending on your location. I had 6" here in Natalia and 65+ MPH winds. We are still on a Flash Flood Warning.

With all that being said, the hunting outlook for this fall is excellent!

We are now approaching 70" on our S. Texas ranch for the eight months. Combine this with the previous three year total of 20" and we are getting close to a normal four year average of 25". Tanks are out of their banks, grass is dense, mesquite have doubled in size and we got the first turkey on camera in over five years. Damn hogs have run the deer away from the feeders and not a single one has shown up on camera but we know they are going to be improved over the past couple of years. Oh, and the rattlers have added double buttons! Yeeeeeeeeeeha, life is good.

3" more last night, 6.8" in 24hrs here.

Just finished Skype'ing my wife and all is good though she lost power for a bit. She went to check the rain gauge and it was in the dirt, blown off its mount. She is pleased that her water catchment system is full again.

Austin vicinity: 5 to 15 inches. Georgetown, north of Austin, got the 15. No significant wind around here, just lots of rain.

HWY 46 between Boerne/New Braunfels closed in two different places and has isolated the Champions High School in Boerne - no inny, no outty. Training shows continuation for this PM.

The Fort Worth area has only gotten 3-4" But we had a very good rain last Thursday so the ground was already saturated. We've got many road closures including highways. Some evacuations of low lying schools this afternoon. And a few rescues of people in apartment buildings.

Good I'll be in Kerrville in 60 days!

My California wife's first Texas tornados in Dallas last night. She was ready to get back in the car and head west.

It's funny you mentioned the 13" of snow in the 80's. I was still living in town back then and some guy about a block away from me had a snow mobile of all things, in New Braunfels, Texas. He and I cruised around the neighborhood-him on his s-mobile and me in my 4X4. I figured he had just moved here from up north (Do you think?)

Not sure if it's Hermine related or not but everyone I know has bad sinus/allergy problems in the last
week or so. It finally rained now everything is trying to grow all at once.

Now Karl. 3" more.

Dammit man another 4-5" over the weekend and still looking like rain. We are going to hit 100" if it doesn't quit soon!

we won't. I'm putting in food plots in Oct. and it will never rain again.

Perry

perry, you are probably right and we put out some oats as well but most went out on Fri/Sat and may well have been washed away Sat PM. Oh well they will wind up somewhere. Good luck on yours.
