    Got about 1" in Edwards County early Sunday morning. Enough to make it pretty sloppy dragging ranch ride out. 4 X 4 engaged for several miles.

          I just talked to my brother and he said both the jet skis were washed out of the lift and ended up in a neighbors yard. The pontoon was shoved up against the rafters but not damaged. Looks like some homes were hit by a tornado of FM 356.

            Livingston is letting out almost 100,000 cfps right now. Looks like I’m gonna have a fresh water lake in front of the house for a while!!

              Not sure where you're at, but folks in Liberty County, downstream from Livingston, hate us at times like this. It's a mess for everyone. I actually had carp swimming in the yard this morning...LOL

              His place is north of the 359 bridge. He said he's never seen the lake so high.

              I might have to drag out the freshwater gear. Trinity has been so fresh for months and now it looks like it will be months more.

                There's now a mandatory evacuation along the Trinity River below Lake Livingston. With the amount of water they're pushing through the dam you could probably catch some nice crappie & bass on Trinity Bay.

                  Come on, dude, it's not just Texas. Old people (men mostly) only talk about a few things. Weather and BMs are at the top of the list. Give us a break.

                    I think Larry Joe Taylor festival north of town got 3" and a big thunder lightening and windstorm just after they shut the music down on Sat night. I bet it looked like Woodstock Sunday morning.

                      Wow I didn't realize that was still going on! Figured it would have gotten shut down by now.

                    I'm in the river bottoms near Liberty and the river is quickly rising. Just another flood, causes all kinds of damage and leaves a heck of a mess, dealt with it all my life. Make repairs and move forward. Worst part is the looters. Times like this the scumbags have their boats tied off to their front porch. They then go out "boat riding" and break into evacuated houses, load their boat up with stolen items and drop the stuff off at their front porch. Harvey flood was the worst though, I don't think this will be near as bad, probably more like the 2015 flood. Looters got me good in 2015. Lots of basically homeless scumbags live in the Trinity River bottom. They live in abandoned houses and junk travel trailers with no electricity. They just set up in the woods on non-fenced property and live. All criminals, all of them, they are not just good ole poor people.

                      Finally was able to get out yesterday and survey the damage from the flood and saw something I've never seen in all of the floods on Lake Livingston. My eyes had a hard time comprehending what I was seeing. From a distance, it looked like a fully intact flat metal roof drifting in the middle of the lake. When it finally got closer I could see there was a pontoon boat beneath it!. Apparently, the boat was in a boat house, water rose to the point that the boat floated up to the roof, roof gave way, and the entire structure, boat and all were taking a ride down the lake. It finally came to rest near the shore and some folks tied it up to a bulkhead and are trying to locate the owner. I also saw a floating refrigerator or freezer. Weird stuff. Be careful out there.
