I tried finding this option but didn’t see it. The trolling is obvious. It makes the forum almost unreadable.
I think this forum has a friend/foe option. Same thing.

I just went driving around to look at the floods here. Haven’t seen it this bad since Harvey. Unbelievable out there. Some water in some homes too.

About 2.5 inches and still coming down steadily. Had some nice rumbles of thunder as well and liking the cooler temps. Sounds pretty bad out CPVs way, so hoping well for those folks.

Mods/Andrew/srain - any way* to hit the ban hammer on our resident troll? Just a nuisance and weak attempt at trolling the forum.

My temp in Richmond has gone up 8 degrees the past few hours. To bad this low can’t dig further south and east.. looks like it will go due north from where it currently is per the HRRR.

Exactly. San Angelo is seeing a lot of snow. Kerrville may see a few flakes before it pulls N.

There will be some spin in those cells W and E of Houston as the rotate around the low. NE quadrant stuff.

I would not be surprised if the i.p. addy matches the troll on the old forum from 2-3 years ago.

That warm nose sector and rotation around the ULL could yield some action.
