5/11/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Tail end of frontal system approached about 7:25 pm with lightning and thunder in the southwest. My little lightning detector registered many close hits. Had been windy all day, but picked up from the east as swirling gusts. Finally got a few drops about 7:50. What a disappointment.
5/12/2011 7:00 AM 0.07 M M M M Two separate events, neither of which amounted to a hill of beans. 1st was 11:25 - noon, just a spit (almost .01")from a thunderstorm that skirted us. 2nd was just before dawn, roughly 5:00 til about 6:00, for another .06". Wasn't aware of the 2nd til I got up. Promise of big things from the west later this morning.
5/13/2011 7:00 AM 0.79 M M M M Not a drought-breaker, but welcomed relief. Much thunder and mostly cloud-to-cloud lightning. Blustery winds knocked out a few dead limbs from trees. Satellite TV OK, didn't have internet on. Two power outages, including 21 minutes beginning 11:37 a.m. Blessedly little run-off. Glorious morning at observation time.
5/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Rainy spell is over. Could have used lots more rain, but thankful for what we got (.79"). A glorious, clear, cool (60°) morning at observation time.

Presume the .01" was associated with it, but wasn't aware of any precipitation during the night. Light drizzle at observation time.

6/22/2011 7:00 AM 1.58 M M M M What a glorious night! Cold front approached about 1:55 a.m., with lightning, thunder and blessed rain. Seemed to come in waves. Not aware of strong wind, but one potted plant was blown over. Heaviest rain perhaps around 0300, but still raining nicely at observation time. No run-off. Have been taking periodic measurements of cracks in our gumbo soil since early April, when the deepest was 15". That one recently was 42". Anxious to see how much it closes up with this rain.

Lost satellite TV, but power OK. Unplugged computer, so unable to report significant WX. Soft rain continued til well after dark. Took opportunity to burn household trash despite burn ban.

7/30/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M We wuz robbed! TS Don a total bust. Clouds and breeze picked up mid-afternoon. Top-heavy potted plant blew over. First sprinkles about 4:50 pm. Rain all over in ten minutes. Some thunder at 5:10 pm -- and that was it. Cloud bank approaching from the south at observation time, surface wind from the east.

Smelled smoke at 11:30 pm, probably from new wildfire near Bastrop, 70 miles to the NE. Fair and still breezy at observation time, but north wind has blown smoke away.

9/7/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Distant, layered haze to our SW as we drove toward San Antonio early morning. Upon NE return about noon, heavy smoke visible in the east, almost like a thick fog. All from the Brazos wildfires. Luckily, north winds dissipated all smoke by afternoon. A glorious morning at observation time: clear and 60°.

9/18/2011 7:00 AM 0.64 M M M M Rain clouds approached from the SW, sprinkles at first, then very heavy rain for about 20 minutes. Lost satellite TV and internet for about 10 minutes. Loss of satellite TV preceded heavy rain. Some rumbling thunder, but no visible lightning. A few gusts of wind, but no damage. I watered the lawn the day before.
9/19/2011 7:00 AM 0.77 M M M M Great show of cloud-to-cloud lightning in the north before the evening storm reached us. Heavy rain, gusty winds, growling thunder. Lost satellite TV and internet for 8 minutes, although satellite radio OK. Submitted 2 Signif WX reports. All clear at observation time, except can see tops of storm clouds in the SE. Cracks in the gumbo soil smoothed out, but still there.

Temp dropped from 88.1° to 77.3°, then back up to 80.0°. Very brief satellite TV interruption. Next morning, found a few limbs (mostly already dead) on the ground. Neighbor's hackberry tree fell over, but it was probably rotten inside.

Temp lowered to 69.0° sometime, but back to mid-70s later. Another disappointment for rain, although I did take advantage of the wetness to illegally burn trash in the barrel. It's really piling up with the burn ban.
