My pond was 4' 3" below spillway runout.  I need all of the rain that I can get.
The ponds here were down 5' to 6'. The one near the house gets a lot of run off and it's full for the first time in two years. The little pond across the creek was down 6' or more and I need to go check it. There is not a lot of slope to it and it doesn't catch near enough run off.

My little pond is built on a pretty good slope, and catches runoff from far and wide.  As does the lower part of the property.  Slopes from the front of the property, and the back of the property to a old, notable draw, which usually has a small stream of water this time of year, normally.  The back end of the pond was built 'over' one of the draws that leads into the mainstream, as a control.  With all the dry, for such a period, and the rushing deluge, it sprung a leak.  Still, it was enough water to bring it over the dam (which is built for an occassional possibility of such).  The rest, washed out a lot, and brought in a lot.  I did wind up with a truck tire hung in the mainstream.   :D

Mine in front of the cabin has a 7 acre watershed.  It has not been this low but one other time since it was built in 1995.

Hopefully Tcsmpsi and Texas Ranger are not somewhere floating in a boat  :).

Sorta.   :D   A different kind of 'boat'. 

But no, the water has receeded.  And, my boat (canoe), I have yet to retrieve from my ex-house  (only been 20 yrs.). Actually, I have officially bequeathed it to the oldest daughter.    :D

tcsmpsi and I were in a different boat for awhile.  I gave up and swam to shore, tcsmpsi is still bailing.  But yes, the creek went down.
