Under normal conditions, the release is around 100-200cfs. So things will probably look a lot different once Canyon gets back down to normal.

These old dams breaking have me even more concerned about the OLD BIG dams in this state..

A dam of that scale can take years to design, followed by what can be years of permitting, followed by most importantly, somehow paying for the thing. We aren't talking farmer joe filling in a hole and putting in some boards. Unless it has some kind of flood control, or water supply function, the big money who put houses on the lake are going to be SOL for awhile. There will be enough complaining that eventually something will be done, but it ain't going to be anytime soon.

No. Never even been to the lake. Actually never had heard of it until this incident. just using some common sense. I might be completely wrong but I just dont see anything leading me to believe that they will drop 10M plus on a new dam. I'll ask again who are the heavy hitters. That might change my stance on when and if it happens.

When the whole state was in serious drought about 10 years ago when all the lakes were seriously down. They drained water from Lake Lavon (drinking water) to help keep Lake Ray Hubbard full. Why would they do that? To keep all the MILLIONAIRES who live on that shore lines wallets happy by keeping their values up on their properties. They will fix the **** so the rich stay happy.

About 7 or 8 years ago I was at a July 4th party on Lake Granbury, which was about 12 foot low....which is pretty severe as it stays within a few feet of normal pool most of the time. People there were CONVINCED that it was so low because they were letting water out to keep Lake Whitney (downstream) boat ramps useable, and that Possum Kingdom (upstream) wasn't letting any water out so they could use their boat lifts. After a day I left Granbury and went to another party at Possum Kingdom, and you aint gonna believe this, but it was 14' low as well and the owners of that lake house were CONVINCED that BRA was letting water out of PK to keep Granbury and Whitney full.....argued with me about it for an hour, after I had literally been IN LAKE GRANBURY that very day.
I have developed a theory that when it doesn't rain for long enough, that lakes get lower and lower....until it rains enough to fill them up. I also believe that when it rains a whole **** ton...they can flood!
I have also noticed that lake house owners common sense level drops with the water, and then begins to drop again as the water gets substantially higher than normal.
