Biggest Rain of my LIFE!

Eddie...
Wow you are getting rain. DO NOT need that up here in Kansas.
If you want a radar mapping system that will show you everything you can imagine, weather related.
Tyler, Texas (75701) Conditions & Forecast : Weather Underground
For regular radar click radar map thumbnail, for a lot of other information overlays and a zoom in with panning while animated select 'wunder map' under the radar thumbnail... Lots of resources if you like watching weather as it is happening.
Stay dry, KennyV

Yep, We got over 5" at home yesterday as well. Quite a light/sound show when it started around 3:30 a.m. Heard the Navasota river was over hwy 30 and saw panther creek over hwy 30 myself. 18 wheelers were gettin through - I turned around and went home and enjoyed the rest of the day on the porch. Nice and cool in the 70's.

I couldn't resist and was dying to see what Lake Marabou looked like and what the creek was doing. Here are a few pics, the rest of Lake Marabou, I'm going to add to that thread.

It's raining again, but it looks like it's not going to be as heavy.

Eddie, it looks like the good thing about your dam is that the creek rose behind it so that there was very little fall for the spillway. That can keep your dam from eroding badly by slowing flow.

We didn't get a sprinkle here except for the ones I paid for at the end of my hose. I would have gladly taken a couple of inches off your hands.

Eddie,

JUST BE GLAD you dont live up on a mountain like I do...
I think I've spent 20 hours of seat time in the last month just fixing driveway wash damage!!

In the last 2 days, DOT has been up and down the road fixing and adding gravel-- such a great thing after all the rain we have had!!!

now I normally don't mind the seat time, but it has started getting old....


Later,
J

Thanks everyone. Final totals for the rain were 8.35 inches today and 1.66 inches yesterday for a total just over ten inches in two days. There is a 50% chance of rain tonight, then we drop back down to the 20% chances that we have most days when nothing happens. The creeks are all flooding, alot of roads were closed and just like always, some idiots tried to drive though the flood waters and got washed off into the creek. This happens all the time, and all the warnings are the same, don't drive though flood water.

I was afraid of coming across a snake, and was watching for them real good. I did find a snake skin next to Lake Marabou and posted that picture on my other thread.

The only wildife that I saw was a whitetail doe in about a foot foot of water, feeding on some leaves. She saw me, spun around and splashed away. I sure wish that I was fast enough to have gotten that picture!!!
