Absolutely no wind but sky is still constantly lit up, rolling thunder and a close cg bomb every 5 minutes still after 70 mins. Picked up nearly 3" of rain last hour. Storms don't look like they are moving much as Erick remnants keep throwing moisture in. Dry air is off to northwest and losing. This storm has ruined me for life I'm afraid.

I had towers go from 0 to almost -70c in minutes. The low cloud base right over bay made almost all strikes positive cg Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

After tonight I'm embarrassed I ever thought thunder by us was loud. Being in a high rise overlooking bay/ocean when outflow boundary hit old boundary just after dark, I had basically multiple close strikes every 2-2 seconds for 10 minutes so that it felt like the whole hotel was shaking and it was blue daylight outside. We had to cover our ears it was getting so loud. It was torrential rain and we could not hear it the first 15min. I feel like I was a virgin until tonight. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Beginning of April I was feeling like crap, stepped on a scale and did a double take. Since then I've watched food & alcohol and increased steps a day to north of 17K and lost about 24lbs in 6 weeks. Amazed at how much better I feel and just how sneaky weight gain can be. Sent from my SM-X210 using Tapatalk

It is very weird being in a region without radar. Thank God for GOES. Anyways, Erick is 400 miles away still, CAT 3. Will make landfall early AM east of Acapulco. Here a monsoon trough is putting a squeeze play here with lightning and rain past 4 hours. The forecast is 3-6". Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I fly out of Puerto Vallarta Friday around noon. That maybe an issue due to interaction of Erica and some front. I'm forecast to get 3"-6" of rain Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon. I'm getting totally different forecast when I look at wunderground, AccuWeather, and then the translation from the Mexican national weather service. If anyone has a better grasp of things I would appreciate some Intel. The Mexican national weather services is saying 40-60km/hr guests to go along with heavy rains Thursday through Friday but wunderground has winds at 8km/hr Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I see that Satan's grundle is going to follow me back home this upcoming weekend Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

The 6 hr forecast here goes between nothing and 2". Each has verified and have had their inverse verify. There is no radar in Puerto Vallarta. Only is satellite. Everyone here just accepts that it's either going to rain nothing or rain 2 in in an hour and there isn't anything anyone can ever forecast and do anything about it it's kind of great Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

In Mexico it has rained 3 hours for a little over 6" of rain here the past two days. From about 4-6pm it's been shit weather but 91/80 every afternoon makes it still feel like Satan's grundle Sent from my SM-X210 using Tapatalk

It was amazing meeting you in person. Usually it's not quite that busy for myself at lunch. June & July can get a bit nuts due to budget. Fun fact, like 8-9 years ago, not long after I started I had a group of 25 house and Senate representatives walk him to the bar at 1145 and proceed to order 2 shots of Blanton's each. At 1.5oz that's 75oz; each bottle being 25.31oz they kicked the 3 bottles we had in stock in 15 minutes, just as we closed. We used to have a copy of the $900 bill tacked to wall on the office. Regardless, when I asked if they were celebrating getting the budget passed they said no, that they were actually at an impasse and thought this may help. Apparently the liquor did the job, as I read the next day that they reached a deal within an hour of leaving. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Up to 1.49" of rain since midnight and 2.35" for June Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Between the storm at 2 and this one I've had at least 8 crazy close lightning strikes. Never in my life has the thunder kept me up most of the night. A couple of them actually shook the walls Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Depending on which autoimmune it can be very tricky. I have sarcoidosis, my mom has Lupus, my aunt MS. For sarcoidosis non-caseating granulomas on Lymph nodes is the key. The problem lies in that the only way to tell if that is present is through biospy. I had to be out under to get a Endobronchial ultrasound-guided biopsy. The other issue is that just being sick often causes swollen Lymph nodes. The swollen lymph nodes did show up on my cat scan and partially on the X-ray. My cousin's case is rare because sarcoidosis doesn't usually go to heart. His lymph nodes were not super swollen. The massive inflammation in his heart did not show up on CAT scan at all. As he started deteriorating over months they did a normal 24 hr fasting PET. He was lucky a keen eyed radiologist spotted something barely. Normally you need at least a 48-72hr fasting PET for it to show up well. Lupus took a year of all kinds of doctors and testing. It wasn't caught till it expressed itself in a rash that would not go away and my mom's dermatologist was able to do a punch biopsy and use Direct Immunofluorescence to confirm it. I wish well. Your story just brought back memories of myself and family members dealing illnesses that were extremely frustrating and felt all encompassing. The imaging and biospy were just one part of the dx. I also have extended family members with uveitis, Sjögren’s, colitis, Crohn's. All of them were literal hell to get to bottom of. Hope you feel better Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

This sounds eerily similar to inflammation of the heart due to sarcoidosis or another autoimmune. My cousin went through this. The testing for it is a 48-72 hour fasting PET scan to put body into ketosis so when they inject the sugar rich dye the inflammation shows up well.

Have things improved health wise for you and your extended family? Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I'll bite. I think our area can handle that over 10 days without too many issues. Do some nice work on the drought Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I will say as a 15 year + plus kid I loved going down south to my cousins. My cousin was closest thing to a genius I ever knew who actually seemed kinda normal. Kid got 1 wrong on SAT and ended up valedictorian at the Air Force academy. In high school him his dad loved making rockets and I do mean big big rockets. Richmond that is dad's in all came into having some of the most ridiculous high octane fuels in explosive chemicals I ever saw in person. We had fun pouring lots of fun stuff down fire ant colonies while combining dynamite and other explosives in chain reaction. It was all good until we were a bit too daring and ended up with a massive crater is Dad put at 300 to 500 lb of TNT power to make. So we next switch to point Moulton Meadows down and making casts out of them which was even cooler if I have to say. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Doesn't look too bad smoke wise Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I figured. My daughter has asthma and allergies have usually been the starting point for ammonia or bronchitis in the spring and summer. Now I'm trying to help my mom who was just diagnosed with lupus. I've had sarcoidosis for years so I know the crap autoimmune can put a body through. Hope you feel better soon.
