6.) Swamp Fox - 05/27/2015
I think Dino is/was in OK City, which I think got either water or tornadoes or both.
I haven't heard from him in ages, though.
One ore two other guys in Okla.
Crookedeye's in Omaha which was okay I think, except maybe for the millipedes in his basement, and he knows how to crawl up on a roof anyway, so we don't need to worry about him...:wink

I'm keeping my boat handy, we have had rain for the last 16 days in a row, day before yesterday I got over 3 inches, last night 1&1/2", we have almost doubled our yearly average in less than 6 months & more is forecast for the next 7 days. I have never seen anything like this in my life.
8.) Swamp Fox - 05/27/2015
Check all your fuses! You don't want to be drifting down Main Street with no trolling motor or fishfinder!

You aint seen nothing yet Brother... sorry to say.
I know you guys are pretty high up there so not really a flash flood worry... but do please plan for extended periods without any power and infrastructure. It still amazes me to see people forget the basics needed for 3-7 days existence in our wooden hollows without power, running water, heating/cooling, medications, etc.
Glad to hear you're fairing ok though.

Finally putting our water wings away here. But maybe not for long, another flash flood watch for tonight!
Actually, we are good. Plenty high enough but rain has certainly made a mess of the ranch. Roads are nasty or impassable and fences have been blown out. Got the last one back up yesterday, hope we don't have to go back.
We have a dry river bed that cuts across the back third of the ranch. Here's a view of it after the recent rains...

Here's another showing our east fence washout....

Here's a pic of the spillway at the lake I live on, it's been running all 24 gates for almost 2 weeks it will flood everyone below the dam if they open the gates any further, the two smaller lakes that feed this one are both holding water 15 feet over flood stage till we get some of the water out of this one. This has never happened before. Two months ago this lake was almost 12 feet low, it is 35 miles long. Richland Chambers Reservoir.

I killed my first deer about a mile from that spillway.

DParker, I hit a 10 point that I never found in unit 10 last year, I hunted 4 days & saw a ton of deer, it ate me up to loose him. Where I hunted, has been under about 6-8 feet of water for two weeks now, but the game warden assure me that they will return when the water goes down.

On my way to work I drive past a little park, with soccer fields, a pond for little kids to fish, etc in near the border with Garland. Today the entire park and about 1/2 square mile of the surrounding low-lying area right next to a housing development was under about 6'-7' feet of water. It was surreal.

It looks like the rabid opportunist Al Sharpton is pretending to be a reverend again.
Sharpton sought “meat” for his radio program by soliciting his Twitter following for commentary on the recent Texas floods – a weather event that has tragically taken innocent lives and destroyed countless homes and property.
In a pathetic attempt at being taken seriously, Sharpton actually asked his audience if they thought the flooding was related to “climate control or God’s rebuke?”

Rowlett Creek. It runs through that part of Garland and down through Rowlett, where it also caused the park flooding I described in my first post.
Let me see if I can find yesterday's news footage of two people kayaking down one of the fairways at the golf course about a mile from my house...
Even better...the original amateur video the news used:
