My friends live on a high hill just outside of Bandera and I think it’s Medina Lake that is near them and she is always saying that lake is so low. She always wants/needs more rain. She has three gardens and about three weeks ago had a knee replacement so husband is taking care of the garden.
Last week she slipped in the tub and pulled a muscle below the knee of her other leg so she is tired of this restriction on her movement.
I was there a year or so ago, and almost had a heart attack when I saw the grasshoppers there - they were monsters, I mean about 6 inches long or more and were huge. It totally shocked me - looked like something out of a Stephen King movie. I would have never believed they could get that large and they were all over the front porch/entire side of house.
Medina lake is 5% capacity. Yep, 5%. Out of approximately 32,000 acres of surface area, only 830 have water. We'll need a couple tropical storms to refill the lake.
