Heights2Bastrop Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Keep a few weeks of beans, chili, whatever in the pantry and eat it before it ages out.Mix that chili with the beans, then throw in the whatever, and you have a wonderful, traditional Texas dish!

Rammer Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The Rio Grande is so lame it doesn't even reach the Gulf. Perhaps they should rename the river 'The Rio Debil' or 'The Rio Diminuto'. Maybe this little hurricane will help...though I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Woe is us!!!!!!!The wrath of is upon us!It is starting to cloud up here in near north Houston, and it even rained for like 10 minutes. No sign of any rain though.It was/is just that dry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heights2Bastrop Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 It's not the Rio Grande that is lame, it's all the parasites along the way sucking up all the water, just like the "other" Colorado River. California and Las Vegas have sucked it dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 It's such a drag when you miss all of the excitment. I was in SoCal when Alicia hit in 83? had to see in papers & news, blah. Wonder what they call these storms where you are? Best hold down that kilty when those gusts start to blowing. Well I just asked my friends what they call them... all of them answered "****ing pests"! They do get them when they cross the atlantic and built strength, but not in a circular motion.

CoolBuddy06 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Where's "Hunker Down"?Scarier than the storm itself, is that Neil Frank has been resurrected from retirement. Noooooo! Oh yeah they're bringing disaster forecaster back from retirement. Watch 11 news at noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm an incredibly sound sleeper, and even that thunderstorm woke me up. It was awesome. It's random for me. Sometimes the soft beeping of a text message in the middle of the night will wake me up but the smoke alarm going off the other night in my room didnt't affect me at all. I missed the drama of this morning's storm as well. Was it bad in the Woodlands area, too? Maybe that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survive indeed. . . Using the Port-o-Potties at a Bean Burrito festival is something to survive, this, not so much. And no, no such thing as a real Bean Burrito festival.

houstonmacbro Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I guess that torrential thunderstorm at 5 AM didn't wake you up!It must have skipped north Houston and only hit further north or south. It was a little wet out this morning, but certainly didn't hear thunder or see any torrential rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering it didn't hit Houston of course it felt lame... go down to Brownsville or South Padre Island and it won't seem so lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heights2Bastrop Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Brownsville has been assaulted with hurricane force winds since early this morning, and the storm shows no signs of moving out just yet, so it ain't over 'til it's over for them. Add to that all the rain they have endured, and you have for some pretty horrible conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanS Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 What a complete bust. More rain would have been nice. There we go... There's that one screwball model! Watch out Amarillo! Tulsa - you could be next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that all the rain they have endured, and you have for some pretty horrible conditions. Brownsville actually lucked out... they got hit and continue to get hit hard, but the worst of it went just north of them... by like 10 to 15 miles. Harlingen is getting hit really hard now w/ very very heavy rains and strong winds. Looks like McAllen is in for a rough couple of hours. What a complete bust. More rain would have been nice.There we go... There's that one screwball model! Watch out Amarillo! Tulsa - you could be next! Yes... the LBAR is a very poor dynamic model... best not to even use this model w/ tropical systems... not sure why they have it up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
