That's a nice hidden gem out there. Good choice.

Does it get hit with a lot tornadoes or other severe thunderstorms with tornado warnings and possible rotations?

I always used to see Corsicana on the radars showing tornado warnings or some of the most concerning areas during extreme weather hitting the greater metroplex area. I don’t know if it always got hit hard, but seeing Corsicana and Waxahachie to the east of severe sections of storms moving ENE just seemed common place.

Works perfect for us as we're in Austin, wife's parents are in Fort Worth, and my parents, brother, and his family are in Shreveport.

Cedar Creek is more developed which means prices are higher and the lots smaller. A lot of Dallas folks have places on Cedar Creek.

tbh I think southwest, then west and then northeast of the metroplex is how most storms track with the worst risk of tornadoes over my lifetime living here

I like Richland Chambers but IMO Credar Creek is better.

I have a weekend place at Cedar Creek. My only complaint is that it's a TRWD lake, so it's surrounded by seawalls instead of banks to dissipate the waves. With wind and heavy boat traffic, the wash tub effect is pretty bad.

I live here on RC. It is also a TRWD lake but has much different regulations than CC in terms of encroachment below the 320 line which is the pool level. Much less trafficked than CC, but becoming more popular every year. I can answer questions and have a neighbor who’s a real estate agent in the area. I’d be glad to answer questions.

Our current home lake is Lake Austin, so it can't be worse than that.
