Cedar Creek Lake Tornados

So, Cedar Creek Lake had a tornado yesterday!

This time, the Cedar Creek Country Club took the brute force here around the lake. The tornado that touched down, did so before heading towards Canton to do much more devastation.

Tornado season is upon us! That is for sure.

Many organizations help to monitor situations like this, and others bring awareness, but, the best thing for each of us to do is to prepare a plan before hand for situations like this.

Websites like this, and others, help to keep us up to date as much as possible.
Listening for sirens to seek shelter is always a good option as well.

According to, https://www.ustornadoes.com/2018/05/09/the-most-tornadoes-in-a-calendar-day-by-state/ every state has a day that is more likely then others to have more tornados. September 4th is that date for Texas.

The record held in Texas for most in one day is 9.20.1967 at 66 tornadoes in one day. However, those came during a tropical system; Hurricane Beulah and was out of the ordinary, but still very real.

According to https://www.cdc.gov/features/tornadosafety/index.html the best way to help our situation if we come face to face with one is to:

1. Be prepared

2. Stay aware of weather conditions

3. Know where to shelter

And if you are interested in facts vs. myths,

https://stormaware.mo.gov/tornado-myths/ has a list of those and one that affects us here, is that believing a tornado cannot cross a body of water. That is FALSE! So, Cedar Creek Lake isn’t safe from a Tornado crossing from one end to the other.

I am sure many a folk that have lived here for a lifetime have seen many crossing our lake like Cedar Creek isn’t one of the biggest here in Texas.

Stay safe out there and remember, your life is more important than any possessions in a time like this when your life could be at stake.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 23)

EXCELLENT. stained; 69 degrees; 0.12 feet below pool. Fishing patterns remain consistent. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop-offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits with a very slow retrieve off the bottom in 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The shad spawn is in full swing, so the early shallow wall bite is on fire all over the lake. Fresh caught shad tossed up to the walls on bottom or under a float are a sure way to catch good numbers of nice eating sized catfish. There is still a deeper drifting bite in 12-24 feet of water using cut shad, drum or carp drifted along the bottom. Many fish being caught in the 10-50 pound range. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
