The flood gates are wide open releasing over 35324 cubic feet of water per second and more rain is predicted. Drive your bolts to higher ground! Wow! Make that 637.64 feet!

My Daughter is headed down there, as I type this, for 4 days. Even knowing the lake is closed she insisted on towing her boat along. Wonder where she gets her bull-headedness from?

I'll bet that road is under water. "It's just a phase. He'll grow out of it." Mama, 1964 1956 Chevy 1/2-ton 3100 1953 Chevy 6100 "The Yard dog" 1954 GMC Suburban Now with a new proud owner.

The lake near me (Lavon) was dry on the north end for the last two years. It looked like a green pasture. Now it's near flooding due to the rain we've had this spring.

As I suspected, our break spot is under water. "It's just a phase. He'll grow out of it."
