Flooding at White Rock Lake - Part 1 was originally written on 11/29/2015. There are several links there and some historical information about the flooding along the creek. Back then I didn't think it would flood at Northwest Highway, Lawther, and Buckner. That area has been improved with a higher bridge but with this last record breaking flood on 9/22/2018 that area did flood.

Butterfly pads were not prepared for the record breaking flood - on 9/22/2018.

We drill holes through the dock and put in poles or we attach lines to the stern and weight them. All to try to keep boats in place during floods. We may have a couple of floods a year but this time we had a record breaking flood and boats did not stay in place. At least we did not have any Butterflys which came untied and drifted into other part of the lake. That did happen to a few boats and also a toolbox.

The water was much higher than we've ever seen it. 

There is lots of clean-up being done at the boat clubs at the lake. Most boats seem okay and with a little bit of lifting the Butterflys are back in their pads. Thank you to all who helped.
