And it's raining like crazy.

Ray Roberts is 1 ft over it's spillway right now. Will definitely go higher. Lewisville will be getting all that run off plus the new rain. It's going to be over it's spillway here soon.

We mostly go out on Grapevine. It's like 13 ft past full. Down to one boat launch. Will be interesting to see what it looks like out on the lake this weekend.

Goes from one extreme to the other down here..

Rats! My lake (Blue Mesa Reservoir, Gunnison, CO) is still 25 feet low, but she's rising!

I haven't seen it by I have a friend that can only get to his dock with a water taxi due to flooding. His marina shut down power to the docks and are issuing warnings about debris in the lake.

We are on Lake Lewisville which is flooded too. At least we can get to our dock but the rain just keeps coming.

Top of flood control pool isn't max. Eufaula is in the same situation but we've been over flood control pool for 2 weeks. Current level on Eufaula is 598.88'. Top of spillway gates is 603' and top of earth embankment is 612'. We have 11 gates and all are only opened 4.5' right now. They'll be opening more (hopefully) in the next few days as more rain is predicted.

All I know is I'm glad I bought a BIG pontoon. If this rain keeps up it may become a live aboard :scared
