CONSTABLES RECOVER HUNDREDS OF BOATS

Harvey passed and left Lake Conroe well above it’s normal stage. With the lake coming up and the winds hundreds of boats went afloat. Many were not tied down, many others were tied so secure that when the lake came up the lines snapped, others as the lake rose were so secure they were pulled under. Some are also allached to docks which broke loose and went afloat. Wednesday morning with most rescues complete, Montgomery County Precinct 1 Constables started to identify boats. The original plan was to tow the boats to a location for owners to identify and recover them. Within an hour that changed when it was discovered there were hundreds of boats and not just a few. Constables are now making the perimeter of the lake, locating and identifying boats by registration numbers. They are then going to locate the owners and pair them with the property owner where the boat now rests. Many are seen up in yards, in living rooms, several have jet skis are still tied down to the dock with the dock completely located. Constable Cash has all his men assigned to this duty until it is complete. Lt Cade reminds people the lake remains closed to boating traffic until the level drops further. He stated there is a lot of debris, and docks just under the water surface. It has not yet been determined if the lake will be open for the upcoming Labor Day Weekend.
