And, oh, how we've needed the rain. Drought conditions have been put to rest as the Mighty Hand of God released the torrents...
And our little place on the lake... Well, what a difference a week makes...
Little Brushy Creek has joined up with Lake Texoma!
My dad's favorite fishing spot is now 12 feet under...
And since May 10th, we've received even more rain
which has led to these surreal moments of
kayaking down the road
and through the woods...
On June 1, 2015 Lake Texoma crested 28.72 feet over the conservation pool, the highest level on record since the lake was impounded. It is truly an unfathomable amount of rain in so short a time!
Highport Marina is underwater...
And there will be no parking at Grandpappy Marina in the near future!
Not even Eisenhower Yacht Club was a match for this flood.
We are grateful beyond measure that there has been no loss of life around these parts,
praying with aching hearts for those that struggle even tonight to understand the deadly force of these flooding rains...
Our place is high enough to have escaped the brunt of the rising waters,
but our pond has filled seemingly overnight!
And the Lake Texoma Spillway overflows in glorious display...
Such a Magnificent Power
in these sustaining rains...
renewing a parched earth and commanding our complete attention.
It is a thing of awesome beauty.
"Let's know, let's press on to know the LORD;
whose appearing is as certain as the dawn;
who will come to us like the showers,
like the spring rains that give drink to the earth."
~ Hosea 6:3
