As of this morning Lake Texoma is at 637.55 feet. Flood control (spillway) is at 640. The flood gates are wide open releasing over 35324 cubic feet of water per second and more rain is predicted.
All State and Federally controlled Camp Grounds are closed and the lake is closed to small boat activity. 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?

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.
So relative to the ~640 ft now, during this last dry spell it was 0?

The answer is 608', its not hard to find. At 80,000 acres*32'*326,000 gal/acre ft - there is about 834 billion more gallons of water than during 2014 lows. Thanks.
