Will also prevent Texoma releasing water into the red river if gets too high. Same happened before with potential flooding in La. they were unable to release water then from gates.

TOLEDO BEND

9 Gates open at 22' - which is insane. This is the flood gates as we speak, which for those of you who are not familiar, this is typically not much more than a creek.

We are beginning to pack up our house and start evacuating soon. I live on the Sabine River. Wish us luck!
