Seen a picture where the water was inches from going over the bridge. Probably going to be a lot of damage to homes and docks this go round.The water level is 5.87 ft high now and it has gone down some.

Sandlin is also falling, despite the water I am sure is gushing into it from Cypress Springs. Pines is going to get REALLY high. It's already 8 feet above normal.

My wife just got back from going out to check on things. The pictures are insane.

That's unreal!

I have never seen a year in which seemingly every time it rains it pours for hours on end and we end up with 3-8 inches. We've had well over 70 inches of rain in Tyler this year and that includes a three month drought during which we hardly got a drop. That means we are averaging about 8 inches per month for the other nine months.

Crazy.

Per COE web site, Sandlin is releasing almost 20,000 cfs.
