Rainy and wet for a week here in N. TX and finally a payoff. I am so sick of the rain but I love a good storm. Very erie out here tight now. Sirens going off (I can hear 3 right now)
Take a look at that photo again and guess which guy isn't using chem lawn.
Glad you guys are safe. I posted a warning in the severe weather thread but I doubted you would see - tornado sirens are way more effective than an internet post.
Oh wow. How much of the DFW area was affected? I have family all up and down the Dallas area from McKinney to Irving.
Mike, apparently it was at 377 & Crawford.
How far is that from you?

Miss those crazy storms since I moved up to Chicago from Cincinnati. Nothing like a tornado warning-induced adrenaline rush! Hope everyone fared safely!

Over here on the Plano/Allen/McKinney side of the Metroplex it has rained like crazy since Thursday night. That being said, flooding in the area has been limited.
The East Fork of the Trinity River in McKinney is out of its banks, as is Sister Grove Creek feeding into Lake Lavon. Even though the Corp of Engineers has the dam gates passing 1,700 cubic feet per second, Lavon has gone up almost two feet since Thursday.
The western sky was beginning to clear up as the sun went down, so I think that's gonna be the last of the rain fro now. There is more rain forecast for Tuesday through Thursday.

I was talking with my father tonight who had talked to my grandmother (in the Allen area), and apparently she was saying there was enough rain that they're experiencing flooding.Over here on the Plano/Allen/McKinney side of the Metroplex it has rained like crazy since Thursday night.

That will certainly help the drought in Texas.....
What are these thunderstorms, rain and tornado things y'all are talking about?
J/K...hope all in the middle of that stuff are OK.
Same stuff going on here... Lots of water.
Put it in pipes and send it to California. We'll pay you!
