Once again, a Lake Texoma marina suffered severe damage from high winds this week. This time is was Lighthouse Marina in Pottsboro, although other marinas around the lake also saw damage to docks, lines and boats stored in slips.
A tree was reported to be completely uprooted in the Cedar Mills camping area as well.
To be honest, I slept through the whole thing because the high winds wreaked their capricious havoc in the early morning hours of Wednesday, July 23rd. With a fan going to drown out the sound of barking dogs in the neighborhood I didn't hear the wind and rain at all.
What a surprise to awaken to news stories and personal reports of damage around the lake.
If you have a boat in a slip on Lake Texoma and you live elsewhere, you might want to be checking on it right now.
KXII.com posted a video and eye-witness description of the dock damage at Lighthouse Marina, which is scheduled to be repaired and safe for use by this weekend. You can read the full article here.
Do you have storm damage reports or photos to share?
Please post them below because there are a LOT of people all over Oklahoma and Texas who may need to be checking on their docks, boats and cabins now. They need a heads-up from you!
