Weather- local flooding pictures
Jun. 20th, 2015 11:02 pmThis is mainly for me.
That road (bridge) is crossing the Red River, which is the boundary line between the states of Texas and Oklahoma. My sister told me that they closed one today when the water was high enough to cover the road and reopened it later when the river lowered enough.
Benbrook Lake is down the street and another street and over the ford from me.
One of these (bottom one) with the 2 seemingly small signs sticking up out of the water at the golf course, yeah those are where the water that is pumped out from the dam exits, I think. Usually that's a fairly steep drop off from the road so the water runs off and southeast away from us. Welcome to Benbrook Dam, built in 1950. My wonderful Mom chose this house that we live in with the idea that we were uphill safe if the dam should give way. Am very very happy about that right now.
Away across the ford below the dam is a great place to go fossil hunting. I have so many ammonite fossil impressions it's silly.
