Re: Weather Alerts
Is that actually something that might pop-up or a photoshop. It does seem like something a programmer might toss in for fun. Still amusing either way.
Earlier today, if it was here it might have said gauges are in the next county, or gauges now have new improved golf ball dimples (the pebble-sized hail was plentiful).

It is real.
I had never seen it display that before I moved to FL, where insane rain rates are fairly common (our year-to-date max rain rate so far is 15.5 in/hr)

Re: Weather Alerts
Apparently, somebody gave TFG his sharpie back and he planned the Mindy route.
With Mindy spinning around and now climbing over Florida and showing longing eyes for Larry in the Atlantic, Mindy and Larry need a theme. Hmmm.

With this fast moving storm some coastal TX schools aren't wasting time.

Re: Weather Alerts
The biggest threat from this storm to Houston is highway flooding. Significant parts of I45 and I69 are below ground level and can flood very quickly. Why they were built this way I don't know.
I do know from personal experience that the roads leading to Hobby often become impassible even in heavy thunderstorms.
Hoping for the best for your friend.

Re: Weather Alerts
Shouldn't Abbott be banning school closings because Tropical storms (and winter storms for that matter) are fake news?

mind blown.
Yeah, what if parents think it's perfectly safe for their kids to swim to school? It's their choice, right?

Re: Weather Alerts
So, conditions must be worsening in Houston.
Expect to see videos of flooded highways soon.
