Levels keep rising on the Red River and flooding is expected. We went out and took a few pics today at the Hwy 71 bridge and at Fulton.
Here is the level at the Highway 71 bridge...

Waters will continue to rise due to heavy rains upriver and tributaries that empty into the river flowing out of their banks. For only the fourth time ever, water is spilling over the Lake Texoma Dam... here is a post of some pics that Bowie County Sheriff James Prince posted to Facebook.

The dam at Lake Texoma. A friend just sent these photos.

Here is video that he also shared from Chelsea Smith of News 12...

Take a look! For the fourth time in history Lake Texoma has gone over the spillway. The lakes elevation is over 640 feet.
