Finally, Some Rain! Sweet, Sweet Rain :-)

We finally got some badly needed rain in Lakewood Forest 1!   The amounts I measured are based on my most accurate glass tube rain gauge mounted on my dock that is unobstructed by structures or trees.  On the 14th and 15th we got 4.5 inches of rain.  Most of the rain soaked up by the ground on the 14th and did not effect the levels of the lakes by much.

However, this last Sat. 7/20 in the evening we got .5 inches and then we had two more storms move through on Sun. 7/21.  One dropped .5 inches and the 2nd one, in the early evening, dropped 2 inches of rain.  Most of which had a pretty dramatic effect on Lake LBJ levels.  We watched the lake rise about 6 inches before receding!
