woah, just felt a really big earthquake in Las Calinas. Really shook our corporate bullring.

 

[ZeroCypher]

Is it bad if we're getting used to them?

 

[dallow_bg]

I'm way north of DFW and felt that one.
Had to be very strong then wherever the epicenter was.

 

[Pagusas]

seriously, that was the strongest one yet, and people dont even scream anymore (Before a few women on our floor would always scream, now everyone just says "hey another earthquake").

 

[Wreav]

Every time this pops up, I make a smug anti-fracking post on Facebook to rile up my conservative friends.

 

[dallow_bg]

Someone said 4.0, but this link says 3.3.

[Pagusas]

officially a 3.3 centered in Farmers Branch: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us10002a93#general_summary

 

[BouncyFrag]

I'm getting an earthquake app for my phone.

 

[OdysseusVA]

I actually felt that. Figured it was the work being done across the street, but they're working on a light pole heh

I work in Addison and it felt like someone dropped a heavy piece of machinery on the roof.

 

[Treechopper]

People screamed in my office. I hate fracking.

 

[akileese]

Another tornado touched down in Ellis County. I think we're just getting scattered storms here in Denton/Dallas county but as always, be safe and smart everyone.

 

[shiftplusone]

was at work in farmers branch using the facilities yesterday when the earthquake hit

that was fucked up


Wife said it's been thundering and stuff all day up in Krum

 

[TheSadRanger]

Where the hell is the sun? FFS it feels like I've been living in England this past week.

Seeing lots of lizards outside the house to with all this rain.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

I feel like I'm living in Seattle these days. But I'm sure 100 degree summer is right around the corner.

 

[Aeana]

Loving the weather. This is ideal for me!

 

[Adam Blue]

Yeah, I don't mind the rain, especially thunderstorms - but I wanna go to the pool/watetpark with kids this weekend.

 

[woodchuck]

I'm not going to complain. Summer is coming...

 

[Skull_Splosion]

I went there very recently. It was pretty great. Me and my wife, and some friends went to the Dallas Museum of Art, the Ft. Worth zoo, and the Asian art exhibit. It was a fun day trip. We didn't partake in any of the awesome BBQ places because we were cheap and ate at Taco Cabana. There's a lot of awesome free stuff to do though. Tons of fun

 

[Treechopper]

Same here! I don't think you and I are meant for DFW lol.

I went to Bowl and Barrel tonight. Pretty neat place, but the beer selection sucks. I'd go again with a bigger party though.

 

[besada]

The weather is great. The rest of you will get your skin scorching summer sun soon.

 

[alpinestars1980]

Yeah, this weather is greatness.

Also, gonna hit up Cocky's tonight to watch the fights.

I don't want west nile tho Besada

Some of the local stations have said that they already found some mosquitos out in Frisco that are carrying it.

Denison Dam is about to start spilling over despite the dam itself being open. Was actually waiting for this to happen, though I'm not sure what the full ramifications of this are.

Yesterday they said lake Lewisville was a foot under it's spill wall, wonder where it's at now O_O

I might be wrong but wasn't last summer pretty mild? We didn't hit 100+ til late June or early July, correct?

 

[jongkookie]

Joe Pool lake was already overflowing after last weekend's rain. The marina and park in Grand Prairie's side of Joe Pool was actually underwater already. I can't even imagine how much more underwater it is right now.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Anyone going to comicon? I'm considering going for the first time.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Downtown Dallas has received 2.5 - 3 inches of rain in the past 24 hours. Insane.

Also the tornado alarms in Downtown are way louder than the suburbs... (they started going off at 2am)

I completely slept through that

I'll be there. Been going to these things since... jeez, 2002? It's crazy how big this thing has gotten, and how many more women and kids attend nowadays.

 

[akileese]

Same. The hilarious part is according to my MS Health app, I woke up 12 times last night, which sounds about right, mostly due to the lightning making the room so bright.

 

[Zebra]

Yup, and I'll be there as well.

It always leaned on the smaller side until the Avengers happened.
A-kon used to be the biggest geek con in town but this thing eclipsed it real fast. I think last year Comic Con had 50,000 people while A-kon still sits in the 20,000s range.

I'm excited, I missed it last year.

 

[KodaRuss]

I heard the tornado alarms last night because I was feeding our 6-week old at 2am. Double checked the weather reports at that time and figured we were ok. I would have slept right through it if it weren't for my son.

This rain has just been incredible. Getting really tough to find time to mow the lawn.

 

[aeolist]

the sirens got me last night, then the wind was actually loud enough to wake me up at one point, and then my phone blared a flash flood warning super loud (didn't even know that was a feature)

not a lot of sleep for me

 

[The_Inquisitor]

What days(s) are you going? This will be my first con.

 

[aeolist]

con's next weekend?

that looks like something i'd check out for a few hours on saturday but $50 is way too much

I'll be there too. Also my buddy told me that QuakeCon started making a comeback last year (and apparently this year too). Is that true? I went two years ago and there was nothing of note there with the exception of the huge ESO booth. It really seemed like if you weren't doing BYOPC, it was a waste of time.

How's Alamo Drafthouse? Never been, only usually see 1-2 movies in theaters a year because I can't stand the crowds/cell phones/kids. Seems like a good option for old fogies like me.

Oh hai, I'm in Austin for work and I looked up Alamo DraftHouse because of your post. I saw that they're screening The Room tonight and Tommy Wisseau is going to be there. I've never seen the movie in its entirety, what better time then now ? Thanks.

Lake Texoma is now going over the spillway. Only the 4th time this has ever happened apparently.

 

[Wreav]

We think we have it bad, Wimberly got around 13'' of rain in the last 24 hours. The Blanco river flood stage starts at 13', and it was at 40' today, rushing south towards San Marcos.

I saw that. The Blanco destroyed a bridge over the river didn't it?

 

[True Underdog]

I could hear the alarms from around White Rock Lake last night as well. The puppy woke me up just before the alarms went off. They started blaring while we were out on a walk and stopped before I got back inside.

It's fantastic. Generally a twenty-something and up crowd. I recently went there on one of my Monday's off and while there were a few families with kids there, they did a good job of keeping them quiet. Seems like they kept the rules in mind.

Girlfriend is in Taiwan. So I have no one to go with. Anyone want to form a GAF group. I want those hot streetpasses

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

A Summer Dallas-GAF meet-up would be excellent in general. We did D&B at Walnut Hill last time.

The new one off 75 directly is much nicer inside.

 

[Wreav]

Tried out the Dallas Grilled Cheese Co. in Bishop Arts last night, pretty decent. Their definition of "spicy" is pretty tame, though.

Any place with Blood and Honey on tap is OK by me.

Maybe we could do one if we ever stop getting flash floods, tornado watches/warning and severe thunderstorms!

As always, be safe and stay far away from any bodies of water right now.

My phone kept me up all last night with flood and thunderstorm warnings. Every hour it went off.
