It's officially the highest the Wichita River has been on record...and it's making a mess around town and the county. It's pretty much all I've been doing the last several days. Here are a few of the images I've made and witnessed.  Jason Palmer/Times Record News Wranglers Retreat resident Robert Giles looks toward his house Friday afternoon. Giles evacuated last night after water began rising in his garage. "I stayed in 1987 and watched it come into my house," Giles says, "I just couldn't stand to watch it this time."  Jason Palmer/Times Record News Iowa Park firefighters Scott York (right) and Tim Sheppard (left) walk along the edge of floodwaters through the Wranglers Retreat neighborhood. Water levels continued to rise along the Wichita River and it's tributaries Friday afternoon.  Jason Palmer/Times Record News Water rises on Martin Luther King Blvd. under the Emmanuel Davis Overpass as downtown rises in the distance. Floodwaters inundating the East Side and parts of downtown Wichita Falls Saturday afternoon as the Wichita River rose to record levels overnight.  Jason Palmer/Times Record News Wichita Falls firefighters uses a motor boat to rescue 20 workers from the Holiday Inn on I-44 Saturday afternoon as rising floodwaters made it into the building.  Jason Palmer/Times Record News Tony Martinez splashes through high water moving one of his mother's dogs to safety on near the intersection of Tulsa and Homes. Floodwaters inundating the East Side and parts of downtown Wichita Falls Saturday morning as the Wichita River rose to record levels overnight.  Jason Palmer/Times Record News Water pours over the Lake Wichita spillway and a drainage ditches that feed into Holiday Creek Tuesday afternoon after heavy morning rains brought flash flooding and road closures all across the region.  Jason Palmer/Times Record News A motorist drives slowly through high water on Kemp near Hampstead as a heavy rain flooded many parts of town Tuesday morning. --------------------------- Well... it's time to get back in the game. __________________________________________ A photograph is usually looked at – seldom looked into." -Ansel Adams I don't so much mind that newspapers are dying -- it's watching them commit suicide that pisses me off. – Molly Ivins NEW Website...Sportsshooter. |

I was going to get some shots of the Holiday Inn but never did. That was a terrible sight to see. |

Man, that is some high water......We were supposed to have family get-together on July 13th and 14th at Lake Texoma but I called the guy at office this morning and it looks like it will be cancelled. Water was 15 feet from his store and rising. I am sure it had flooded him by now...... Just depends on how fast the water recedes and things get back to normal. --------------------------- Jay Henley jayhenley@charter.net "If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around." |
