View looking E down Dave Blue creek. Flow in the creek ceased in early 2006, thanks to a 22 month rain deficit of 30 inches in east Norman.

View to the S across what used to be the west arm of Lake Thunderbird. Water normally covers the entire area from tree line to tree line.

Looking NE while standing on the dry lake bed. The water should be about 5 ft. deep where I took this picture.

Now I'm in the middle of the cove, in what should be 7-8 ft of water about 300 yds offshore.

Dave Blue creek at bankfull on 5/7/07 , looking from the same location as image 3639 showing the dry creek bed. Lake Thunderbird reached normal pool elevation by late May 2007, after ~13" of rain for the month and a 7 ft lake rise.
