O/T: Houston, You May Have A Problem

Weatherbug has a long and not very good history for also installing adware and (originally) real nasties like Gator.

Many people recommend WeatherWatcher instead. I haven't tried it. yet.

Haven't had any problems, but then again, Spybot, Ad-Ware and deleting all cookies regularly works well for me.

Seems to keep me out of trouble.

That is because they haven't figured out how to politicalize a compass yet.

Looks like "Dollie" is going to wreac a little havoc in South Texas.

Looks like Rio Grande valley takes the hit this time.

Yeah, way down south from here those folks could wind up with a final tally of about 18"+ of rain before the storm finally passes them. Some areas had 12" (around Brownsville) by the 10:00pm (central time) newscast tonight. That's a ton of water for one day...

We are hoping for 1/2" or so now, not much. But we will certainly take what we can get. Further mandatory water restrictions are just days away.

We've had a few small, but welcome showers here in Houston. AAMOF, I left out walking a little before 5 this morning and got soaking wet the last half mile ... still drying as I type.

Looks like another band is coming:

I wonder if they named it Dolly because of the huge frontal system.

Sheeeeezz. And I'll bet you're even proud of that one. erk, j4

But as of 2PM today, the following update...

Hooboy, surely hope it does pan out...

My sister in Olathe would probably be pissed that all her new grassseed would wash away.

They're 400 miles away back there and out here we're, frankly, not concerned... :)

It's been quite unusual year up this way -- from US 283 and east they're either wet or drowning; west and we're burning up. We're on the verge of desperate, but right here we've had several local showers just a few miles away haven't so we're in good shape compared to many. Much of Cimarron County, OK, hasn't had an inch or two all year.

Of course, this year has been one where even the 70-80% numbers haven't panned out for us more often than not... :(

In the "rich get richer" scenario, central and east got rain yet again last night; local summer baseball team is in El Dorado and they got rained out for second night in a row...
