My brother was going to head out there this week on his vacation but they never got rain so he had to make other plans. That is just insane!

I also wanted to add, when Rita came though and ruined the Dam at Conroe, the water went down real low and you couldn't get the boat out at FI's parents. The Hydrilla (sp) got real bad for like a year and we couldn't swim off of their dock. It's finally back to normal but once the water rises again, it won't be back to normal underneath for a bit.

They are finding a TON of things with it so low.  There was a rash of cars that got pust off a ridge into LT in the 90's until they put up a guard rail.  You could see 2 or 3 of them when I was on the lake in July.  I saw part of a house and some other really random things.  It is CRAZY how many dry docks there are so people's water pumps and stairs that don't even reach the lake anymore.  I don't recall it being this low.
