Texoma is less than a half foot from going over it's 640.00 feet above sea level spillway level.

And with all of the flooding rains tonight in Oklahoma and out west towards the Falls, who knows how many feet over the spillway the water may eventually go. A foot or two? Two to four feet? Five feet or more?

FWIW, the current record for Texoma's lake level came during the flood of May 1990 when the lake peaked at 644.76 feet above sea level.

When dramatic drought and extremely low lake levels in the matter of months quickly went the other way. April broke way and May the skies opened and relentlessly rained for days on end. Near stage 5 restrictions in the Falls to evacuating thousands of homes in the very place that was dry as a bone. Will be quite a read.


Speaking of Lake Kickapoo! Dramatic rise from around 27 percent capacity to 100 percent capacity. isn't this the lake they had been putting anti evaporation dispersant in?

With all due respect to 1990/1991, 2004, and 2007, I have never seen such a vast area experience flooding like this. All of those years had regional places get a lot of it. 1990 had the biggest Texoma spill but that was two years in the making with 1989 drenching Oklahoma. The only period with such extensive water up and down the Great Plains was spring of 1957.

This is pretty insane. It's definitely the most rain I have ever seen. My driveway is basically a small creek now.
