Back home in front of the family house in Granbury.... Two weeks ago the water line was out by those trees, about 80 feet. Now it's back up to the retaining wall. Rick

Typical taking from the fortunate to give to the less fortuate:) Even Mother Nature doesn't like Cali.

All of the flooding rains last night were on the Lake Whitney Watershed. It's up 2 feet and still rising. Was down 9. May not get full from this flood, but should rise 5 or 6 feet. Granbury is curren

And experts were recently stating it would take a minimum of 3 years for lake levels to return to normal. Just missed it by 33 months.

The Core of engineers told Granbury folks it would take weeks for the lake to fill after the gates to the river were shut and instead it filled overnight. Said it was quite the site watching people scramble to get their equipment out of the low areas?

Still plenty of lakes and dams with no little to no water outside of North Texas.

ETA: Rule of thumb used to be it takes 1000 West Texas acres to run 400 cattle. Now its would be impossible to run 40 on that without a well.

The Corsicana area is bursting at the seams. Richland Chambers had to release for the first time in 3 years and Halbert is very close to coming over the bridge. Boy when you need the rain mother nature doesnt play.

A sad effect of the recent water levels rising.... Plenty of docks on Lake bridgeport are sustaining damage from raising back up to levels they haven't seen in over a decade...

What's funny is, the news around Denton is reporting all the flooding as if it's never happened before. And I'm not sure the last time it happened but when Harry, and UNT90 and I were in school it sure did.

Can't remember the exact year, I want to say in either '88 or '89 it rained and flooded so bad one of the two main bridges on 377 south of Denton washed out and 377 was impassible for a year or two. All the typical places around Lake Lewisville flooded to where when the waters finally receded there was a huge tree trunk that had floated and settled in the median of the bridge on I-35 E. Water nearly crested over the bridge across the creek region north of Lake Lewisville on east University/380 east of town. So this flooding is fairly normal for some of the typical areas.

And BTW, timing is everything I suppose? We had to take the F5 down to Texas State Univ-San Marcos on Saturday morning in a monsoon for him to compete in the Texas Federation of Music Clubs piano competition. We went to eat at the Gristmill in Gruene and then got north just hours before the rains started up again and the Blanco River rose 26 feet within an hour flooding out many parts of San Marcos.. Crazy.

I remember Rick, seems like 1990, (that was the year that Texoma went 4 feet over the spillway) was a wet spring as well, the 80s and early 90's were wet years that typically raised our averages. But the last five have been dry it is nice to see most of the state doing a big rebound, and the speed a lake can bounce back.

That's probably when it was then. Another memory of the time, in regards to the water being released at Texoma. We had heard about the release so bunch of us went out to the golf course pond with a cast net and collected a bucket full of shad and perch and drove up to Texoma, bought a one day license and fished for Stripers on the oklahoma side. We filled a large cooler full. Im sure others are taking advantage of it now?

Some of the state has gotten a rebound. We still have parts of the state still in drought conditions.

They'll be releasing water from many of the lakes here for weeks before most get back down to conservation pool or lower.

​Holy crap, that's the truth. We've had so much rain up here that several lakes and swamps have formed on the outside of town. You can't get out of your car at night without being attacked. They're even out during the middle of the day. We had to search one of the swamp areas for a person with a gun last week. Several guys had holes in their shirts from the little bastards.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
