I think somehow in Texas we managed to steal the water from California

We have been in a drought for years as well...but as of lately we have been getting SOAKED!

Last year we were at 63.7%, now at 74% full- East Texas is mostly 100%-

Texas Reservoirs
Monitored Water Supply Reservoirs are 74.0% full on 2015-05-06

Lake Lavon at 100% is just a couple miles from me...we will be having fun there this summer!

Look at these numbers-

We live on Ray Hubbard and keep a trailer on Lake Fork. Its weird crossing the lake and seeing how high the water is because its been so low for so long. Its unbeleivable how much rain we got in such a short time and it doesn't look like its ending.
