I'm headed down there tomorrow for the week. Our water has been off for a month due to a water leak. Finally was able to get it fixed but grass has died in meantime and I just put that grass in last year.

Had an outside plug burn up. I guess it was so shocked by the rain it gave up the ghost.

We are burnt up in Victoria, but we had our wettest year ever last year. After 2-3 10"+ rains watching water get close to the house I'll stomach the dry

We received 10.1 in since last Thursday here in SE LaSalle County. ..and we needed every drop. Lake CC should catch some, but just don't know how much. Cotulla area had 3-4 in as did Tilden area. Don't think it rained much up the watershed for Nueces.
Very blessed…

Unfortunately rain in Corpus doesn't help our water restriction

Meh...I live on the Island. All the yards are rocks. The only grass I have is damn weeds...Brush Country Ag said:Ag with kids said:There was flooding in Corpus...Brush Country Ag said:

Yep… mow my yard in AP with Roundup. Did hear that the Nueces is going to crest in McMullen County pretty high, but don't think there is much behind that push. So Lake CC should get a bump out of this, but not much imo. Choke Canyon pretty much missed out…was some rain around Pearsall, but not enough to make a difference.

My poor Dad lives in Lakehills...at Medina Lake. It's 9.3% full. A few years ago it got below 3% full. The only water was down by the dam. He's still got no rain.
I was visiting him in the early 2000s though when it almost overflowed the top of the dam. The 250 ft wide spillway was dumping 15 ft high water. You could hear it a mile away at his house...which is completely around several bends in the lake...It got within 18 inches of overflowing...
Now that it's finally rained, I may mow my "yard" with my blowtorch.Brush Country Ag said:

Looks like the rise on the Nueces is larger than originally thought. Hopefully Lake CC will get a good rise.
