If only Stevie Ray was around to see this! It is flooding in Texas, and the really strange thing, it’s August! I have lived in the Lone Star State my entire life (so far) and have never seen the like. Inspite of the fact that this is interfering with a lot of our normal activities this time of year, like not being drought stricken, most of us are pretty happy with this change from the normal hundred plus weather and dust.

Weather and lakes

How does all this relate to your pond or lake? Well, that remains to be seen. It could help with your weed problems by raising the water level enough to prevent light from getting to the bottom of the shallow areas, or it could cause them to break up and move around , planting new colonies as they go. It will probably be like everything else that results from what nature throws at us, a mixed bag.

Just be thankful for the rain!
