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 (Jan. 15)

GOOD. stained; 50 degrees; 2.61 feet below pool. The hybrid and white bass winter deadsticking bite is now in full swing! Use half ounce to 1-1/2 ounce jigs with 4-5 inch plastic flukes depending on what the winds are and drift long lengths of the lake in the deepest water 35-50 feet. Drift at speeds of .2-.6 mph using your drift mode on your trolling motor or using drift socks. If the winds are not too bad you can just drift with the wind. Thumping on the bottom of your boat will attract fish and group them up underneath as you drift. Utilizing a splasher also works well with thumping. You will find the fish suspended between 22-28 feet when deadstricking. Look for Birds and Loons early mornings on shallow flats as the fish will come up to follow the bait and feed early especially on cloudier/colder days. The crappie bite has been tough with reports of fish being scattered. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 7-15 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Crappie fisherman have been moving spot to spot finding limits. Lots of crappies in the 7-9 inch range. Limits of crappie will happen but you may catch a lot of small ones getting to your limit. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Still 2.7 low and water temps are in the 50 degree range give or take a degree with the clarity being stained to slightly stained heading south. The best bite is now drifting from 18 to 35' using cut shad or rough fish along the bottom. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
