So no doubt there was some "debris". Even cars, dumpsters, refrigerators and other appliances and furniture. I even heard the rivers' currents are so strong that it's pushing all that stuff out into gulf as far as 20 miles out. All of Texas major rivers are at or above flood stage.

Because apparently you live here and drive by it all every day since your location says Austin? Ive been at lakes in OKC many times this summer and haven't seen any trash in them. Arcadia is probably the most crazy right now being 11 feet above flood, but it's not connected at all. I find it more likely that it was from storm drains that run into the river...not the lakes.
