    Lubbock proper is in the Brazos river basin, but just a few miles south of that is in the Colorado basin, so we will see that water eventually too.

    No....it has 3 Reserviors to get through before it gets to Buchanan...JB Thomas (Snyder) EV Spence (Robert Lee) and OH Ivie east of Eden....

    That massive rain out by San Angelo.  Any way it feeds into this stuff?

    I saw a video this morning...there are 2 flood gates open on Lake Nazworthy....that will be in OH  Ivie,  and then there is this stuff around Ballinger which is headed to OH Ivie as well.

    Very likely a topic for another thread, but what in the fuck were they thinking building the lakes they did around San Angelo? Ivie is different, as it has multiple water sources, but Fisher and Twin Buttes have basically been empty my entire life. My entire family is from that area, but no one can give me a good reason to what the hell they were thinking, other than, hey, this looks like a good place for a dam. One of those conversations I wish I had had with my grandad before he passed, as he lived in that area his entire life except for the 4 years at TCU and the 3 years in the Pacific for WW2.

    Huge flood in Angelo back in the 30's prompted those lakes

    The Concho also flows directly into Ivie, which really needs all the runoff it can take. The folks in the Concho Valley and Permian Basin need that water.

    True that....but anything west south and north of Angelo...(north concho, middle concho, and south concho) will have to fill Twin Buttes and OC Fisher....and they are both below 20% full....it would take a flood of biblical proportions to fill all them

    The Colorado River runs 30 miles north of San Angelo.  Normally out there the land is dry enough that a lot of that rain gets absorbed.

    Not now.  That stuff will come right down into Buchanan et. al.

    Any water coming down the Colorado from west of Eden will hit OH Ivie Reservoir....and last I checked Ivie was only 18% full
