Every July day was 100+ and that summer Dallas had 28 days above 105. I was born in 81 so just missed out! In the early 90s we had some terrible summers where we would always get a string of 103+ days but it'd be broken up by mid 90s. 2011 was a brutal Texas summer too but nothing will top 1980 in Dallas. I was 17 at the time and it was BRUTAL!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was brief, but intense. Trees and debris all over the place. I would love for voyager to be the jack pot and and miss us. We need to get this game in tonight.

Also it's pretty f'n miserable outside. Bryant Park looked nice, but we can only drop/pick and run there. We then have to head to the cruise ship area on the west side (between 11th and 12th Ave) to park. As for the storms, per the USGS automated gauge, we got 0.70" yesterday.

daxx Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I would say definitely the most intense storm around here in awhile. We have been getting big rain producers but the lightning and wind with this storm was something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have a part time job with the Barnstormers. Last night around 6:30 the sky was green. I mean...it was really green. I've heard people describe seeing that before but until last night I'm not sure I ever did. I was commenting about this to fans who were adjacent to me. One guy kind of laughed and then when he looked he got this look of horror on his face, turned to his wife and said "holy f*ck, it is green!" Then he looks back at me and says...what does that mean? I say, I'm not sure exactly but it ain't a good thing. I didn't find out until after the fact that Lancaster city was under a Tornado Warning at the time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
