Tuesday a storm produced 3 to 6 inches or rain in a 1/2 hour, which created a flash flood that poured from the hills into to small towns at the north end of our lake. Our lake house is a few miles south and was spared the flooding but this was fast and mean. Prayers go out tonthevfamilies that lost everything. Thankfully no one was really injured , just livelihoods and possessions.

Debris has now infected this clean beautiful 21 miles of lake.:(

Y'all get Hella bad snow, and Hella bad rain storms too? might want to move south.. HAHAHA

Glad there were no deaths or serious injuries.. but sad to see the pics of town/lake. I know that will have some effects on summer tourism...

Update, spent the day tying down, dock boards, lowered tower for the first time to raise the boat another foot. Ugh

Sea wall is 42 inches high, usually only 6 to 8 is covered on the bottom.
