Storms!

After a late start, this spring is turning out to be quite a wet one. Not so much constant rain but when it rains, it rains big! This past Wednesday was no exception. Within the past 2 weeks we had a major rain with signficant flooding in Denton, up to 8 inches of rain. In Mckinney we had quite a bit but not that much. Now Wednesday, we had tornadic conditions but thankfully no tornadoes, just 60-80 mph gusts! Fortunately we had not damage although others in the neighborhood weren't so lucky.

The creek at Winniford park was a full as I have ever seen it, and probably more so. Lots of tree limbs down in the area and some were pretty big. We lost power for over an hour. I don't know the last time we had lost power for even that long.

Lavon Lake is still a bit low, but is near full, which is pretty amazing. Late last summer it was 18 feet low, nearing Stage 4 drought conditions. We are still under Stage 3 for some reason. Even as recently as 3 months ago we were still about 15 feet low. I haven't ridden by the lake in a few weeks, I am sure it looks very different now, like a lake, not a pasture!
