Much welcome rain in North Texas January 2012

[blazeracer]

2 to 3 inches expected beginning this afternoon thru tomorrow afternoon. That should throw another foot in the lake.

If anyone wants to stand around and drink indoors tomorrow I'll be at the fridge shop all day. Gonna push the Glastron inside tonight so I can work on the fuel system out of the weather tomorrow. Maybe work on the ECM placement also. If there's still time left, weld some tabs onto the coil brackets so they can mount on the motor mounts.

According to the latest "Flash flood advisory for North Texas, it looks like the weather service is expecting a good 3-6 inches of rain for our area today through Wednsday. Lavon is about 3.88 feet down right now....this expected burst of rain should top the lake off nicely.

The news team probably pulled the lake number at 4am or something, then started working on the graphic for TV so it's couple of hours old when it gets on the broadcast. Shoot, that data may have been almost 4 hours old when it made TV, and the runoff is flowing BIG TIME!!

Fox 4 just showed some footage flying over Collin park.  Sure is good to see it filling up.

Matt I had to refresh it to get it to come up and sometimes it wouldn't but sometimes it would.

Lavon will most likely be full after all the runoff ends.....sometime next week.

Hmm.  Now I get a message about an IP Block.  Guess this Verizon scope is on a black list again.

No matter what happens you will not see me posting about it.  I learned my lesson.  Those sites will lie like a sheep.  LOL.

Lavon is less than a foot away from it's highest point of last year, and higher than it was all summer of 2010.

Ray Hubbard is the highest it's been since June of 2010. Less than a foot from full.

Tawakoni has a foot to go until it's at its highest point of last year.

I saw a pic of Travis taken today from a boat ramp and the water line was still about 10' from this particular ramp (the one by Carlos and Charlies).

Was the picture taken today or prior to the 5 inches they got over there?
