From one of the weather prognosticators.......... Severe risk across North Texas today plus lots of rain mainly starting tomorrow and lasting well into next week, perhaps all the way into next weekend due to a frontal boundary stalled across the area. Flash Flood Watches likely as models pinging in on some very heavy amounts of rain.  I may have issues with my pond spillway at the farm.......

I have no place to put more water but I'm still saying to bring it on.
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.

I sure wish I had my IBC totes ready to go. Plan on getting 10-15 of them for backup irrigation supply. Could probably easily fill them all by next weekend.

Think about how many billions of gallons went into lakes.

River gauge near our farm showed 8" of rain from Tuesday-Sunday with about 6" of that coming Friday-Saturday.
Crazy amount of water here right now in DFW. 10-20k acre lakes are coming up 2-3' in a day.

Glad to hear it for everyone. We have been at full pool since February and ponds I have not seen water in for years are full. God bless texas.

The long range weather forecast says this stuff ain't going away anytime soon. Looks like a wet deer season.
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.

Here's a pic of my big pond on 5-2-15  Here it is on 5-10-15. Zoom in and look at the water under the dock. 
It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?

It is looking good this year so far. I started to do some seeding a few weeks ago but now I'm glad i didn't. We have another storm right over the place now and it's not moving much so let it rain!!
