Here's the sea wall Patch was laughing about. The water never touched it at all last year. There was 40 feet of beach here two days ago. The boat dock has been on dirt for over a year now.

Just curious what rivers we have around here. I know the Trinity goes through downtown. Are there others in the area?

Rowlett Creek is a river only when it rains. Trinity is the only one I know of that flows all the time. Sister Grove Creek is the one that is supposed to be flowing from Texoma to Lavon. Seeing how Lavon has gone up twice as much as any other lakes around, I wonder if the Corps turned on the pumps???

Retaining walls hold dirt from the back and never contact water, sea walls hold water from the front to prevent shore erosion wether they are installed on a lake, river, or ocean.

Just using correct terminology.

Here's where Sister Grove Creek crosses 121 out by Anna just past FM 455. Should see a big flow here if the Texoma pumps are on.

I would still consider that a creek. Just a flooded one. Hence the name Rowlett Creek. I would guess the size of Lavon and area of runoff is probably the reason for the more rapid rise. I doubt they turned the pumps on.
Did you get in touch with Jarrod?

Donnie just sent me this picture. It's of the northern secondary ramp at Collin Park marina. The buoy marks the end of the ramp and as you can see, there's now plenty of water at the boat ramps. Hopefully the ramps will open back up soon. The last time the water was this high was in early August 2011 and we were still using all of the ramps then.
