Dallas area lake levels - Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Hubbard

[ceyko]

I meant to post this the other day. This was taken from Texoma this past Saturday when it was already flowing over the spillway for a few days. I'm not sure where it's at today.

I guess you can't read it from the pic but the text that's along the bridge says ---------------RECORD FLOOD OF MAY 1990 ELEV. 644.75----------------

heh, yeah I went out Saturday too and check it out. Would like to see the spillway now, but am not risking it. I checked my boat and it was inaccessible. Just received a txt from the marina, and they are bailing from the property. Too much flooding and they've lost all services (phone, power...etc) anyway.

This could get interesting for the marinas and boat owners out there.

We are Texans. We don't have the flooding lingo down I suppose.

Crest to me means breaking the banks. Which is in know way happening from what I see.

I didn't know either, that's why I asked. Did they think it could top out today and reach its highest point, or did they think it was close to spilling over its levees. I got it now.

I'm rolling with this all the way home

Lake Texoma record will be broke today and I think when the water does stop flowing in - It will be a record that won't be beat. If it is beat, that's going to be the least of anyone's concerns.

Hopefully all these dams hold.

Do you ever post anything other than something that screams "I'm smarter than you!"

It was a question, followed by my explanation of what I thought a term meant.

[Big A]

"Crest" - break its banks? I thought cresting just meant reach the highest level it's going to reach.

As a verb it can mean to reach the highest point possible, such as cresting a hill. The nature of water is such that if it were to reach the crest of the levee, it will invariably spill over.

The Trinity is already outside its banks in Dallas. You should have said overtopping the levees.

Heard trinity may crest in Dallas - anyone more informed on that or see it daily to confirm?

Your girl is about to crest

I am looking at it right now from downtown. I don't see that happening.
