Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Storms

You Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri members. How much work did the latest batch of storms leave you? The ones that went through on 3-2.

Here in central Mo I had about 3/4" and a little more runoff then I have had in a bit, here locally we have not had a runoff pond filling rain since pretty much last June, although not far up the road they have had considerable more, as in 20 M east they have had several rain events that didnt do anything for us.

Almost 2" of rain in west-central Indiana, and now it's snowing. Ponds and wetlands should get a boost and streams and creeks should get a cleanout. Expect the wind will leave me with some cleanup to do...

Scott, we had very little clean up to do. The ice storm that rolled through in early February wiped out any declining tree or limbs that were covered with ice. We lost oaks, cedars, bradford pears, and around a dozen hackberry's, which was fine with me.

We've been lucky twice this year. Straight line winds were hitting 60-80 mph, with Sherman TX getting baseball sized hail during the 3-2 storm. The DFW heat cap slowed everything down, and we maxed at 34 mph, and 2" of rain. No hail. The tornado's in the first storm missed us by around a mile, and the 3-2 storm tornado was SW of us. Only shingle damage north of us, and not a tremendous amount of damage where the tornado landed.

Not much problem at MY home but a tornado touched down about 2 miles away in town. Tore up some houses.
However, we haven’t had electricity for 3 days. I’ve headed to the country. About to hop on a 4 wheeler.

No wind damage here, but did get about 2.40" of much needed rain!

Got a badly needed 1 inch of rain. Need another 30 or so.

It was a big fizzle here. We were supposed to get between 4" and 18" snow, all we had was some light rain and 2"-3" of slush that mostly melted away today. Lots of standing water, but a lot will go to raising the water table. The sump pumps for the basement perimeter drains on the house are running every 5-10 minutes.

No damage. Only rain, 2.82 inches of it. Ponds are looking good for spring spawn now. We are predicted to get more big rains next week. Predictions usually change to lesser amounts in that time frame. Ten day forecasts here are extremely wet biased, compared to reality.

We only got 7/8”, south got 2”I’m still 20” low

That one turned over all of Mrs. Augie's patio furniture and scattered it about the deck.
We've noticed several trees that went down in the woods along the creek, but no damage to buildings or property otherwise.
Couple miles east of here a neighbor's place took a micro-burst that wiped out half the mature oaks in a quarter mile stretch of fencerow
and sucked the patio door, frame and all, out of the basement wall of his house.
Pretty much the same situation as Jake in terms of rainfall. We haven't had one that got the creeks running bank-full since last June.
My pond is up maybe 6" since the first of the year.
