We are finally getting some rain here in Texas. How much have you had so far. I think I have had about an inch but more is on the way.

A little more than an inch so far.....but it is raining pretty good right now. \:\)

Now we need the downpour in order to get some runoff!


20 acres of trees & 3/4 acre pond.

I think we have got betweeen 1-1.5". The watershed should be soaked at this point and the rest will start to runoff.

As of this morning, 3.65 inches in Hurst in the last 24 hours.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

The rain started about 9am yesterday morning and it's almost 9am this morning. It's been raining fairly steady the entire 24 hours, with some of it being very heavy.

I'm at 4.25 inches so far!!!!!

My small pond was full and overflowing at 2 inches. It's too muddy to go down to see what my big pond looks like, but it was about a foot low before the rains started.

The latest forecast if for the rain to continue until Saturday.

It's not how many ideas you have, but how many you make happen.

3/4 and 4 acre ponds.

Randy, I don't think I did all that well up North where my ponds are.

I watched it falling yesterday on my lawn. It rained off and on for 24 hours and nothing ran off.
