Mayo was also the dullest county in the country, per the statistics. Knock Airport saw only 92.6 hours of sunshine throughout the month, the lowest figure nationwide

Everyone in Co. Mayo…

Is it duller than Dull, Scotland? Or Dull’s sister city, Boring, Oregon?

I guess that’s why they named the dullest of sauces after it…

In addition to the disaster in Kerr County Texas (at 24 confirmed dead, 20-27 children missing from a summer camp along the river), the flooding has moved into several other areas. Several dead and 10 missing in my county. The flashflood warning has been extended every hour since 10:30 this morning and more rain is expected.

Personally, we should be fine. Staying home. House isn’t even in the 500 year flood plane and our neighborhood has good drainage. Our city planned parklands around most of the creeks, so there aren’t many houses near them. One has overflowed the road.

Other areas a nearby are going to be really hard hit. And meanwhile, FEMA is a zombie. I suppose I should be glad Texas is such a deep red state? The trump administration has already promised aid. You know, the same people who gutted NOAA and crippled the weather forecasting that could have warned the people along the Guadalupe that no, it wasn’t going to be 3-6 inches, but over 10 in just a few hours

Fuck.

Death toll from the Texas floods is worse today, up to 62. It is likely to rise even more in the next few weeks.

This is a bridge in Georgetown that was closed. Why are they on the bridge?! It was still raining! A surge could easily wash over the bridge, even if the bridge isn’t already damaged.

It’s this river. Why go anywhere near that?

Because the current theme of Texas is “You can’t tell me what to doooooo……”

About an hour ago, the sun was shining brightly, and it was raining big heavy drops.

A kitsune no yomeiri, fox’s wedding. I told our kid about that legend once and now whenever we experience a sun shower, she says a fox is getting married somewhere nearby

Much better than “The devil is beating his wife” !

Wow! I wonder why so many places landed on some kind of wedding as the name? And specifically so many mentioning foxes or vixens?

Because foxes are awesome?

I may be biased… :wink:
