Dallas area lake levels - Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Hubbard

[Tremor14]

So do you believe now?!!

I took this picture of Lake Lavon yesterday, I still can't believe how much it's changed in the past few months. Last summer we were saying how it would take an act of God to fill these lakes again!

Pretty much everything in DFW is rising fast with several lakes over full by a couple feet.

Some of the lakes south and west of the metro are doing better which is great. Our house is on lake whitney and we haven't seen less than 5' low in several years.

Lake Bridgeport has risen almost 8' in 10 days. Most of the area lakes are multiple feet above full. The saturated ground is finally allowing runoff to flow where we need it.

Lavon has came up 15ft in 3 months.

Hm, Grapevine Lake is 75.9% full as of 2015-04-24. I figured it would be more full.

There is a bit of a lag in data after a big rain.... I bet it will jump up again tomorrow.

And just FYI: It's 4' or so higher than it was this time last year and a good 6' higher than it was this summer. It's on the move.

I heard Evan say on Fox 4 this morning, both LRH & LLvn should be full by next week if this weather pattern continues...

According to the link, Ray Hubbard has come up roughly 6 feet since Jan. 2015. Now if this rain would continue for a while...

Its rained a bit since the pic I took above 10 days ago too. I may be back out their this weekend if the kids want to explore and snap another.

Yeah those numbers are off. He may be thinking percent full instead of water level related to depth. Hubbard is more like 5 feet in the past month and a half to 2 months.

[TX_92_Notch]

In a little over a month Hubbard has gone up 12 feet. Lavon has gone up 15 feet (Since 3-11-15). LRH is approx 5 ft. below full and Lavon is 2 ft. below full. Thats a hell of a lot of water...
