Drought Be Gone?

[Etxbuckman]

Well it's raining like a son a gun in Spring right now. The poor ground must feel like it's being subjected to waterboarding.

Ray Roberts still 3.5' low, lake Bridgeport is 24' low. We got a lot of rain in the last 6 months, but the issue is not a lot of run off. We need big rain with a lot of run off to cure the drought

New map

It's been raining seemingly non-stop since November-ish in this part of the state. It's hard to believe some areas could still be parched.

We are nice and green here because of almost weekly rains, but no runoff. OC Fosher, OH Ivie, Twin Buttes, Lake Brownwood, etc. all are very low. EV Spence used to be one of the best striper lakes in the country, and is now not much more than a puddle.

[Patton]

The rain keeps avoiding the areas of the state that need it. Can't get a lick of rain to fall near Lake Travis or Buchanan. Camp Wood was supposed to get .55 inches today ---- 0.0 recorded rainfall today at the ranch. I'm guessing we'll get .2 inches (at most) of the 1.09 predicted this week in there

The new map is somewhat accurate but in other ways ridiculous. Fannin Co is under water yet map indicates dry to partially improving conditions. Wrong wrong wrong. It's soaked beyond belief 3x over.

hope you guys that need it get some rain. We need a bit of a break down here in corpus. I had to buy a couple submersible pumps and have been pumping water out of one of my neighbor's yard (who just ignores the problem) that back up to me for 4 days now straight. Each pump is moving about 15,000 gallons of water per day. It's a mosquito factory back there...

Down in here in the southeast Texas counties (fort bend, wharton, matagorda, brazoria, etc.) it is absolutely flooded and has been for months.

Same here. The ground is saturated with nowhere for the water to go. Every little rain we get just floods.

Van Zandt and Wood county are drowning right now.........

I know that's true in my part of Fannin. Soaked.

Sure would like to send some of ours where needed and get it the heck out of here!!! I've mowed my grass once since September and I got stuck in the mud a dozen times doing that! Right now I don't have a yard, I have a swamp/lake! I tried to walk out there a couple days ago and sunk to mid calf! We have had 5-6" since then! Planted the garden over easter weekend and have already started replacing tomato and pepper plants that have drown in the water when I can even get out there and work in it!

We still have some kind of dome over us here in NW Texas. Lakes still at 20-25%. We need a flood.

that would be us in the darkest red on the drought map - The water situation is getting down right scary around here and it is hard to see a light at the end of the tunnell when every storm system seems to go right around us and the line is being laid as we speak for Abilene to continue their H20 Leachfest but that is a whole different topic all together
