Morgan and it's been thunderstorms everyday for weeks now. Maybe that's just normal for them this time of the year. How high above the creeks/rivers/bayou are you? I'm sitting on a hill a good 50' above flood stage here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am 12.5 ft above sea level to the slab and 3 miles inland on Pine Ridge , the first 2 miles is flat marshland called Big Branch Refuge , there are three bayous run inland around us , Bayou Lacombe , Cypress Bayou and Bayou Paquet , if the big one comes it is Kaddy By The Door Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bighanded 1,235 Posted August 25, 2022 we drove back from Florida Sunday...got caught in 3 separate really heavy downpours...that plus the 60mph travel speed and sure nuff, water found a way into my camper roof...ceiling over my bathroom area is soaked...long over due for a new roof...but had been keeping it patched...guess it's time to look at some major work, or sell it to a deer hunt club. touring around my property last night...our area hasn't seen any rain.. i've not cut the grass in over 6 weeks and our creek (40feet wide and normally a good 2-4 ft deep is a dry bed. pond is about 7 feet off bank and really starting to worry about well water levels around our area. I'm hoping for a decent tropical system to bring the 4-8 inches of water we badly need....send us some of your rain please!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bighanded 1,235 Posted August 25, 2022 Rick Hill SC...just below Charlotte...when there have been afternoon pop-up storms, the rain has been north and south of us and we seem to miss it...so even though the entire area is in drought, my particular area has been even worse...saving on gas not mowing the lawn (grin), but I do worry about the pond turning...smaller ponds have turned several years back when it was this bad and a number of folks reported their wells running dry. We've gone through this before...we switch the paper plates, etc to reduce washing dishes, that sort of thing. one good hurricane bringing rain inland will make all the difference..just seems like a very quiet NOAA season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the heavier rains go right around us. Except the larger area is about right for rainfall. Maybe a little more for August since historically this is our dry season. Last time this happened where we missed the big rains it all caught up and we got 7" in one night. It was forecast to be 1/4-1/2" of rain that night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What happens when a pond is turned or turning ? ^^^^^ I'd guess , going salt or brackish ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bighanded 1,235 Posted August 25, 2022 the water just gets too stagnant and hot and the thermocline flips...first you really know about it is when your prize large mouth bass are all floating dead on the surface the temps are cooling at least a bit..that'll help but I'm real close to renting or buying a displacement pump so I can aerate 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,674 Posted August 26, 2022 We about burnt up in June and July, and we've had a steady stream of thunderstorms every couple of days here for the last couple of weeks. Hope you get some rain soon Bighanded. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bit off topic but I recently saw a travel trailer with a rubber roof that turned into a large bubble at highway speeds. Poor guy probably never had a clue his roof wasn't sealed.

56Sierra 1,845 Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Well this isn't a good prediction for Louisiana. Toward the end he talks about a system coming off the Gulf making landfall first Sunday in Sept.

LOL...yeah, that was probably me you saw running down the road...I'll get out to it this weekend and see what I'm looking at in detail..what repairs/patching might be possible..but in the end, we've had many many great trips and good years out of this box...just not worth the cost of a new roof.
