July 2009 goes down as the hottest month ever recorded, Lower Colorado River Authority meteorologist Bob Rose said Friday.

Looks like you guys need a nice slow moving tropical storm coming ashore about Corpus Christi or thereabouts.

So hot the trees are whistling at the dogs to come and wet them down.

“Hot temps and no rain begets hot temps and no rain.”

Ain’t that the truth. My yard just crunches when I walk in it.

As a natural born Texan, I never expected to be cold in July--LOL! However, the lack of rain to cool things a bit and keep the crops growing and the lakes full would be nice.

We had just a bit under 1/2 of rain last night--the first we've had in 7-8 weeks.

I have been down in the Valley several times recently and it is bone dry down there. I really feel for those having to put up with the drought—not to mention the broken foundations.

I don’t think NaturalBornTexanGrandpa will be replying to you. I noticed the mods pulled all posts by NBTG after someone outed him on this thread at #107.

As someone who lives in the middle of the “San Fransisco of the South”, I think it’s a curse.

Now we’re off to set the record for August as well.

Here in western Pa, it was the COLDEST July on record!

[Quix]

LOL.

I guess S. TX is hording all the atmospheric energy from the rest of the nation. The rain the other day was spectacular. I heard a big “woo hoo” come from one of my neighbors while I was grilling some prime porterhouses under my covered back porch.

1431 & New Hope - Veterans Memorial Waterpark: with all the water features spraying, shooting or dumping water everywhere on the acre, the temp stays about 70 and you get a heckuva tan.

$5/person/day. Ice cream, vending, pizza delivery.

I already have my bottled water and 'D' cell batteries. Waiting for electricity is the worst part.

[Arrowhead1952]

Thanks for the info . . . we will go there!

The weather guys and gals keeping telling us we're stuck between a *developing* El Nino and a drought. There's nothing out in the Atlantic or the Caribbean to give us much hope.

(El Nino suppresses tropical store development)

"general humidity in and around Austin"

Not official by any means but by my reckoning it's only gotten humid in the last week or so. Sadly the rain has been around but not on my place.

In general humidity seems to have increased in the last 40 years. I don't know if it's the concrete, the lakes or older age but it certainly feels more humid here in the last two decades than it did in the past.

Did they recognize his IP address. Who was this Progressive Patriot?

Infiltrator?

[freekitty]

We were due for a hot one. Hope it ends soon. Real soon.

>>Did they recognize his IP address. Who was this Progressive Patriot?<<

Must have recognized the IP addy. Must have been a previous infiltrator. Two post signup [Jul 19, 2009] here.
