It's Raining in Texas!
Last year my neighbor two houses down, who'd bought a boat (19', center console, great for lake fishing, 125 hp Evinrude outboard) could hardly take it out to fish for crappies and bass; the lakes were so dried up you had to drive over a mile to get to water and then launching was sometimes impossible because of all the structure exposed. Well..... opposite problem, all the boat launches are under water, lakes are all closed, they are all at or above flood stage, the Corp. of Engineers is playing hopscotch letting out water to keep the entire area from overflowing their banks and flooding more than what it has - tonight's rain is just adding to the problem!
