Thank you, Roselee. We've had more rain this week than we had from January through May of last year. I'm way up in north Texas, and the lakes are Lake Arrowhead and Lake Kickapoo. We still have a long way to go, but finally the lakes are going up instead of down!

I am so happy for you. We had a 1/4" but we still feel like a jungle. All the rain goes to the east and I don't know how this has effected the highland lakes.

http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/p120i.gif?1431204520 It has been a while since I've seen such a widespread high amount of rainfall for that area. We'll see how that prediction turns out.

Eagle Mountain Lake is nearly full, we are also ecstatic!

It looks like Medina Lake is still down by a bit over 83 feet.

We are forecasted for continued rain throughout the rest of the week. They are saying it might be 5 inches!

Hey teacup!

I pray you get all the rain you need and no more. It sure is wonderful!

I'm glad Eagle Mountain Lake is almost there. It's time for a 'happy dance.'

Seems like it was close to ten years ago we had such a wet spring.

I've only been here seven years, and the last five have been quite miserable because of the drought. I have learned a lot about gardening in Texas though, so it hasn't been all bad. Now I'm mostly all native, and the survival rate is so much better than in the beginning when I didn't know much of anything. Live and learn. I am a better gardener because of it.

We had a very wet 2007 and the lakes in this part of Texas were full to overfull.

Looks like last time central Texas had a really wet spring was 2010? We moved here in 2012. I'm just going by how full Lake Travis was. http://travis.uslakes.info/Level.asp Still 50 feet to fo to match 2010 level.

Pam, that sounds about right. The rain storm we had this morning was pretty bad. But all in all we still need the water. Replenish that aquafer!!

Just wanted to say that the current combined lake levels are now at 48.5%! They have more than doubled in the last week, and we have a good chance for more rain.
I pray those of you who are getting rain do not get any of the severe weather that has been around this week.

lake Travis/Buchannin is 38% full , but that is better than the beginning of the year when it was looking at the lowest ever level for starting the year in the 20 something percental. Worse than either of the extreme drought years. They are still 50' below full in Travis. LONG way to go. A lot more people drinking off of it. God I remember a time when 20' below full was something awfull.
