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. 2)

FAIR. stained; 61 degrees; 0.04 feet below pool. Hybrid and white bass are returning to the main lake after their annual spawning run into the creeks. These fish are now congregating on wind-blown points throughout the lake and on shallower flats near drop-offs and ledges. The shad spawn will begin in the coming weeks, which will trigger early morning schooling action along shallow points and seawalls, attracting birds to the area. To target these fish, use 1/2 ounce to 1-1/2 ounce slabs and spinnerbaits. Work the baits close to the bottom, as this will entice strikes. Thumping the bottom of the boat will also help group fish underneath as you fish these spots. The crappie bite is strong around docks, bridges, and in creeks, with minnows or jigs proving to be effective. Catfish are biting well in shallow flats at the mouths of major creeks and along adjacent points and shorelines in 2-6 feet of water. For deeper water, try anchoring or drifting with fresh shad on main lake flats in 12-24 feet. This catfish bite should remain productive for another month. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish are shallow around creek mouths drifting in 12-24 feet of water with cut shad or rough fish. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
