Tonight's rain - someone got pounded

[Phil Lilley]

May be our Bill Babler... looks like Shell Knob area.  8-10 inches in an hour.

Shouldn't effect the lake level much.

Still raining... it won't move

About an hour ago you could hear rumbling off in the distance, so I pulled up the radar and that was the only activity in the state.  

That's crazy that we could hear it clear up here !    Must be really raising hell down there.   😳

I’m at Lake O. And like Wrench said we could see it lightning and hear it clear up here 150 mikes away. Unreal. 

Becky is at Shell Knob  and said she has never seen rain like that for that long. 2 and a half hours of waves of rain. 

Glad we got to watch it from up here.

Lightning in the sky right now, radar showing another front coming through.  I have a buddy that is camping at the Indian Creek COE campground now through the weekend to do some fishing.  Looks like he is going to have to dodge wind and storms.

For selfish reasons I hope it keeps the lake high enough to keep the spillways open till I get down there😁

It will be at least 6 more days, without a significant rain.  We're tired of it...  the recreational person is having a very hard time catching fish, esp if they don't want to boat to the dam and some don't.

Steve from Wichita told me after I got back to the dock that he and his wife were at the dam earlier and saw lots of shad in the water and the fish were fighting over them on the surface.  Of course catching was unreal.

While I was up there doing One Cast, it was all forming.  I took one pic of the edge of it.  The pic doesn't do it justice.

The lake is still dropping.  .44 in the last 24 hours but that's down from .52 yesterday per day.

From my past experiences they will either shut it down when I get there or the trout will be swimming around with them hanging out of their mouth and won’t eat anymore 😆
