Yup, bring it. The more the merrier...

I have to laugh at the folks that complained lakes were too low, prayed for rain, and are now complaining they are too high. I don't see a lot of it here, but in my daily dealings with people. I want MOAR RAIN!!!

10-4.... I need to figure out what we have going the next few months and throw up some dates.

Indian lodge just reported that the river is 1' over full right now.

I be all like....

I don't disagree.. I do try and keep my front yard relatively green for the sake of my neighbors and the general appearance of the neighborhood.

Honestly, I would be fine living in a place like Phoenix where the vast majority of yards are rock with some local vegetation mixed in.

You want to look into Xeriscaping. If you do it right, you have it with native Texas grasses and plants, let it go feral and give any HOA the bird as it complies with Texas laws on ecosystems that can't be disturbed.

Here on Texoma, we've gone from 608 last summer to our 615-617 normal (hit that a couple weeks ago) to almost 627 today. At the rate it's rising they expect 635-640 (over the spill way) if we get the rain forecasted this week. Local marinas are moving everything to higher ground. I was looking forward to lake season when I winterized my boat back the end of October, I was about to pull it out and get it ready for the season. I'm hoping it's to a useable level by mid July now.

...

Ya...there's a local restaurant that floods at 629'. They've already moved their furniture out.

this makes me want to buy a boat. Anything think boat prices will go up due to all this rain?

Yes they will correct back up a little. They had gone down at the end of last year because there was "no end in sight"

Na, they'll be the same. Getting into boating w/fishing off them is the best thing I've done recreational wise. Yeah, they cost money and are not an investment really - but fun.

You fuckin commie

Tell that to all the Victory Gardeners from WWII.

Corinth cops had to close Shady Shores road by Lake Lewisville. It is covered in a couple feet of water. I wonder how many residents along that area are taking on water.

luckily I'm done driving up to UNT until August.

I've looked at Kimball bend before just never made the trip... I'll have to this year for sure.

Well, I was really happy about it going up fast as I keep my Supra at Texoma at my uncle's lake house and he has his sailboat and slip at highport. It'll be interesting to see how high it goes and or stays.

Last I heard, they'll open the flood gates at 635. I saw this on KXII's website earlier today.

"Bliss says The Island Bar and Grill at Highport will flood at 629 feet, and with The Army Corps of Engineers predicting the lake will hit 630 feet by Friday, Highport is taking action"
