I am in Oklahoma and we have also been blessed with the rain that Texas is getting! If it has to be one extreme or the other, I'll take the rain!!!
I started another thread about having problems getting our pond built, and this spring and summer a lot of people have said to us, "Too bad you're pond wasn't already done." Personally, I'd rather it fill nice and slow. We will depend on runoff - which we get a lot of - but that also mean silt and (sometimes) trash. I'd have worried about a new dam with this deluge!
