And I'm lucky to live on higher ground. Always keep a bug out bag in the car folks. You never know when the [censored] is gonna hit the fan. This is one of those things where when it does happen, you need to be ready and mobile instantly.

It's not a Lake Lewisville dam breach bug out bag. It's an all purpose bug out bag. In it are "supplies".

Wasn't it originally Lake Dallas and the dam was either raised or replaced(not sure which). Then it was named Garza-Little Elm and then a new dam was built downstream and it was changed to Lake Lewisville. Wonder what it will be called when it busts?
