You said — “I remember downpours there, that seemed like somebody was dumping swimming pools full of water, right down on top of me. Not just “coming down in buckets” coming down by the swimming pool load/volume.”

Yeah, I know about those, too. This one, however, seems that it makes that kind of downpour just like kindergarten. Apparently this one is big, or bigger. What did I hear..., I think, I heard a report of 3.5 inches in one hour... somewhere north and west of Dallas...

Wasn’t so bad here (Corinth, about 3/4 of the way north to Denton from Dallas). I think we were in a kind of trough that missed the worst batch of storms that traveled NE from Fort Worth through Arlington, Northern Dallas, Plano to McKinney. Denton also got some heavier rain I think. In a lull now. More bands coming?

That black gumbo clay has seen plenty of torrential downpours in the past. This is just a presently occurring, notable one.

I had a friend that once sailed a catamaran from near a portion of the Arlington/Grand Prairie city limits, to within sight of downtown Dallas. About thirty years ago...

When I was a boy, 3-4 inches an hour, and more, in select locations wasn't un-heard of, once it finally did decide to rain. There was also seven year drought in that area, with one or two of those years with no measurable percipitation whatsoever, more like forty years ago.

But don't let all that stop you from telling me all about it...
