We got/are getting rain! Looking at the rain gauge with binoculars it looks like ~ 3/4 inch!!!!! That's a downpour gully washer for here. Houses could slide into the ocean (ok maybe a bit of an exaggeration). It's supposed to stop by 9 I think - I'll watch the sky for that. Guess I'm not weed whacking today. Maybe I'll bake some lemon cake, I've got the lemons and they need to get used. I did can potatoes Friday. All the jars sealed. ROTFL I used one of the USDA guides and I should've remembered they always over state amounts. Ended up with 5 cups of cubed potatoes (par cooked/cooked) so we had German Potato salad with dinner last night. Still more to use up. Next time I'll cut more, or have more jars ready to can in.
@Grandmas Barn -- that pic reminded me of the old Folgers Coffee commercial with the percolator - now that jingle is bouncing around in my head
not complaining - it's a happy good memory.

Morning all. Last night had two major storm complexes hit the neighboring metro. Tornadoes, flooding and very large hail. For the second night it looked to be bearing down on us but thankfully dissipated. I “sat up with the weather” watching Ryan Hall and David Reimer. Both left East Texas hanging, ending broadcasts with oooos and ahs about lightning while dangerous storms still drifted east southeast. Show the damned map and show a predicted path 
. Others felt the same way apparently. Someone criticized Hall harshly- “People depend on this information…get out of the way and let the adults report the weather.” I totally agree. And my accu weather radar was a complete fail about three hours in. Blobs of color everywhere. A third of the state was covered at one point. I don’t know what Hall or Reimer’s (Reimer did a better job, barely) credentials are but some kind of professional spanking is in order. (And lose the traffic shots they’re irrelevant and block the map).

I'm glad you're safe. My son follows a guy online for tornado information. I'll ask him who it is and if he reports for Texas too. That information can mean life or death.Morning all.

Here's a video from 4 hours ago. He's talking about Texas. Son says his information is way better than mainstream.

Ryan Hall used to be very good. I hope he hits his stride again because he provides a very necessary service for those of us who live rurally. David Reimer does Texas specifically but last night he was off his game. And (pardon me) but wtf was wrong with Accu Weather last night? It looked like a drunk was running it. Solid cherry red from DFW to OKC flashing to green or nothing and completely inaccurate. Today’s weather is a carbon copy of the previous two days. Storms aren’t in the forecast but it looks fishy. Bill Paxton needs to pull up in the driveway and sniff the dirt I guess. He could be wrong but the view could be interesting.
I'm afraid all kinds of news have become a ratings game. What's going to generate the most views. IMO It's criminal to not seriously report what's happening with tornados or any other natural disaster.Ryan Hall used to be very good.
