Jorden good for maybe another two or three feet, I would think I went and looked at it at about 10pm last night. Looks like about a foot to me.

The lake was rising fast yesterday and got pounded by heavy rain for 2 hours in the morning. Another few feet up and the water will be across the road going in to Jordan Park

I bet it will be over that tonight, water is poring in from every creek in Gainesville, and lake kiowa still over the spillway. They were closing old denton Rd when I drove through 20 minutes ago water over the road in 5-6 places.

I am shocked that is only as high as it is. We got 6 inches of rain today and I live just north of the lake. We got 5 inches Thu night and 3 inches yesterday.

Still a lot of run off headed into the lake, it won't crest for at least 36 hours if we don't get more rain.

It could catch a few feet more after all the runoff reaches the lake. As stated, more rain forecast as well. Great time to build a pipeline from the trinity to the colorado lol

That stinks but the water is more important than the grass. I retract this statement.

Question is for how long... Ray Bob cant release much water until Lewisville can handle it. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe Lewisville and Grapevine releases both go to the same watershed down stream, which is also already flooded. Regardless the lake is still on the rise with more rain expected for the next 10+ days, and all COE ramps are closed at the current level. As we all know from a few years ago, it takes several days after the water recedes for the grade under the parking lots and ramps to dry out enough to be reopened. According to the nice folks at the Marina the regular ramp is closed, they do have a functional ramp but its for private slip owners only and they told me it was not open for negotiation. LOL. It could be a month before all ramps are reopened and back to normal.
