Stormy weather



We've had a few sunny days, but not many. This is the view of the University of Texas tower this afternoon when I went to campus.

About 15 minutes after I shot this, the sky opened up and many frogs drowned. It's been a bizarre summer, with below average temperatures (only 74 degrees right now, tho I ain't complaining) and endless rain.

The only thing I can figure out is that the flying spaghetti monster is trying to drive Bush crazy by making the brush on his ranchette go crazy.

I had to go out and do a presentation just as the deluge let go.

Before that my whole office just stood and watched those clouds boil up out of the south. Low, black and lots movement approaching circulation. It was awesome.

It is getting a bit unreal. A small tornado touched down in S.A. Sunday morning early. Part of that storm took chunks out of my pecan trees. We had a thirty minute event yesterday that left everything looking like we had an all day deluge. And then we had the hard rain all afternoon today with the dark and ominous cloud effect as well.

All I can say is "What is a cubit again?"

Send it up here! We're in what is now a "moderate" drought here in Maryland. Most ornamentals are toast if they haven't been watered. The early corn is finishing OK, but the late crop is looking stunted. The fruit trees are looking stressed, but I don't know what that means for the fruit.

Today's high is predicted as 97. The usual scattered thunderstorms, a staple in Maryland summers, have failed to materialize almost every day for the past two months.

This is weather, but a few more summers like this (and the psat couple), and it becomes climate.

I've never seen such a rainy summer like this in Austin, and I've been here pretty much since 1981.

I have lived in West Texas for about 7 years now and it is even abnormally wet out here. My folks live outside of Austin and I am getting daily it rained this much today reports from them. It really is tad bit spooky. Fort Worth may have to be renamed Seattle soon from what I hear.
