Andie Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Good grief. The area around DFW is under a Flash Flood Watch from Wednesday a.m. to Thursday a.m. They say we'll get 2-3" of rain in 24 hrs. That's a lot of of heavy shower action. But we have done it over the past year. We'll see. Very windy the past 2 days. 15-25 mph constantly. 87*Dewpoint 71*Humdity 60% Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Andie Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Flooding may be the word of the year for the center of the country. _____________________________________________________ Torrential rains in Oklahoma over the past two weeks have brought the Arkansas River in western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma to its highest water level ever recorded. Near the Oklahoma border at Fort Smith, Arkansas (population 300,000), the river rose to two feet above its previous all-time high on Tuesday morning, and was predicted to rise at least another two feet before cresting on Wednesday. The river also hit a record high on Friday at Ponca City, Oklahoma, about 70 miles upriver from Fort Smith. Between those two locations, at Muskogee, Oklahoma, the river crested on Sunday at its second highest level on record. All-time record crests are predicted over the next week along a 100-mile stretch of the river extending from Fort Smith to just upstream from Little Rock, Arkansas. At Little Rock, the crest is predicted to be the sixth highest on record, and the highest since 1990. On Tuesday afternoon, two levees along the Arkansas River in Arkansas were overtopped, flooding farmlands, according to katv.com. https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/Historic-flooding-Arkansas-River-Oklahoma-and-Arkansas?cm_ven=cat6-widget 3 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

East Dubzz Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Just 0.16”. Once again, while we continue to get more rain, were actually still underachieving. However, I can’t be too mad. As I said before, this is probably the best outcome for my recently planted garden. If we’re not going to get severe storms, this is probably for the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
