Tom, I think we have gotten a little over 5 1/2 inches in 4 days we could not have ask for any thing better. Have a good time in Branson, drink one or twelve for me.

8.5" now here outside of Ennis. Our 30acre lake was about 25 acres and 4ft low. Now its trickling out of the swillway and pushing 35 surface acres. Thats a lot of water!
I sure hope this is it. I have 225 Grass carp in that 30acre lake. Another 2-3" downpour will send it out over the spillway 2-3ft deep. There is no fence that will hold them in on a lake and spillway this size.
Everything else came up nicely. and is not running out of the spillways.

BTW, hopefully Todd Overton will post up his situation. I believe, like everyone else, were getting in a bind for water, especially with his operation.

We were supposed to get rain here tomorrow, now they took that out of the forcast and say no rain for the next 7 days. The pond has dropped 13" in the past 2 weeks. I'm starting to pump well water in to the pond today. Hopefully the East Coast doesn't get dumped on all at once.

Nice to hear of all the rain that everyone received. It started here on Friday with a slow, steady downpour that lasted until Sunday morning with 1 1/2 inches of rain. Then Sunday afternoon, it opened up and dumped pretty good, but nothing like Monday morning where I received one inch in 20 minutes, another 3/4 of an inch in 20 minutes and another half inch in half an hour. My total for three days is 6 1/4 inches. Both ponds are overflowing. Todays forcast is 100% for heavy rains, which I'm going to expect means the rains are over and it will start to dry out. I don't have allot of faith with the weather forecasters as they got this entire storm wrong.

I went to my place yesterday and found that I had gotten 4.35 inches but almost no runoff. My ponds maybe came up 8 inches. I still need a frog strangler.
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.

Same here DD1, we got 4" of rain in Montague Co over 3 days. NOT complaining, mind you, but it raised my pond a whole 1 1/2' and I'm still 5' low. Maybe we'll get some more rain ![frown \:\(](/forums/images/graemlins/default/frown.gif)

I'm just North of where Eddie Walker's property is and we have enjoyed many days of slow rain and finally got dumped on these past few days with more coming. I have never seen a rain pattern like this Low is creating. It's a "spinning top" that looks like it is rotating around an area covering 1,000 miles dumping rain over and over again. Our pond is nearly 3 years old and has yet to go over the spillway. The last few days rain has given us about 4 inches. The good news is that the pond has consistently been at a higher point than it was the previous year for the same date. I hold out hope that eventually it will be full - but I am still 2.5 feet from the spillway.

Food plot? HA! The seeds will sprout next Spring! It's good to hear that the parched Texans are finally getting rain. Hopefully it won't be too much of a good thing!

Looks like I'll be driving through it all day tomorrow to get to Missouri. Glad other parts of the country are getting some.

The 23rd to arrive on the 24th. Unless the g'smith spends big bucks to ship the new rifle, it doesn't look like it'll make it. It hasn't shipped yet.
