WTF is with this bleeping weather?

[Amazing Larry]

Tornado warnings in parts of the city.  Luckily not in my part of town.  Crazy May weather.  

 

It was beautiful there last weekend.

After living in Kansas and Nebraska for about seven total years, I've come to one undeniable conclusion: Plains Indians were the baddest motherf#%^ers that have ever lived.

[Jay]

For the sake of completeness I'll add that the weather is perfect today.

spent a couple of Christmases and several summers visiting wife's family in southeastern nebraska, and i can attest to this declaration. from bitter cold to insane humidity, it's a tough place to grind out a living. go indians!

It was awesome last weekend.  More storms forecast for today.

the hotter the weather, the more the arsonists like to play. it's no accident that most of our fires start on the really, really hot days with low humidity. i'd wager all of them are the result of arson, with very few exceptions.

Pretty soon we're gonna need drones overhead to protect us from all the "ists"

[AngelsLongBall]

And I'll add this: NOAA is increasingly predicting a strong el Niño this winter, which is good in terms of rainfall, but very, very bad for fire areas

I just spent two separate stretches in the Reno/Tahoe/Carson area. I was there last Friday and Saturday for my stepdaughter's graduation from the University of Nevada Reno, beautiful weather, sunny and low 80s. Flew back up on Tuesday for business meetings in Carson City, raining and upper 40s when we landed in Reno, had snowed overnight, didn't see the sun until about 1:00 Wednesday afternoon, and that was only for about 30 minutes, then more rain. Today, of course, when we were leaving, bright sunshine and 60s.

Just went through a round of 80mph winds, torrential rain, and two inch hail. That was round one. Round two is approaching. Welcome to June on the plains.

don, i used to have family that lived in falls city. i loved visiting nebraska.

 

do you ever go to the college world series? i thought that would have been fun to attend but we were never able to get back there at that time.

[Don]

I've been to the CWS a few times. It's quite a bit of fun, and definitely the main event of the year here. I actually live about a mile from the new stadium.

[Spencer]

I'm in Yuma, working on my hands and knees in the sun, digging in the dirt.

108 during the day.

Soooo miserable

[nate]

Nebraska is the most dreadful state in the union.

 

Anyway we have gotten nearly four inches since Friday.  A string of epic thunderstorms.

[Tank]

made a few trips to yuma to sing. we go there every couple of years for a winter campmeeting at the Adventist church.

 

i don't like going there, but the people are always nice.

80s here today and perfect.  It got up to 91 yesterday but it felt good.  Time to bust out the golf clubs.

[nate]

We have had torrential rain for the last couple hours and off and on for the last 36 hours.  Today the street is completely flooded.  There is a probably 4 foot across stream in my back yard.  I took this video earlier before it really picked up.  Only down side to these storms is they have gone all night for the last two nights.  Hard to sleep with constant booming thunder.

 

edit: since late Monday we have gotten 4.4 inches of rain.  Supposed to get another 2-4 inches by Sunday.

This begs the question, how is the prison food?

[nate]

How is that drought going guys?  We got 9.5 inches of rain in June, lol.

Anything under 110 doesn't count.

That's more than two years worth of rainfall for us.

 

The National Weather Service said that we had a two percent chance of rain on Friday. It rained - all over the city.

[Blarg]

It did but only 2% of the rain fell.

[Spencer]

Lovin this weather. Summer is the most bestest

[nate]

Whoa. That's a lot of rain.

 

Yeah to go with the theme since we moved here, we had the 5th coldest winter on record and now the 5th wettest June on record.  More severe thunderstorms coming.  The rainy season has lasted three weeks longer than normal and still going.

10,000 degrees today in Laguna hills

[fan_since79]

92 and humid in Long Beach. Miserable.
