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.

Same here WBF. Water is over my bulkhead and boathouse decking. Most of my recent landscaping is toast, but hey, we're still here with no major damage. Friends in Trinity are not so lucky. Water is about 1" from getting into their house and we all know it's going to rise more before it falls. Stay safe everyone.

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!!Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.Last edited by SetDaHook; 04-30-2024, 07:32 AM.Comment
