Lake Travis is flooding
Lake Travis is full at 681 and usually between 668-675 right now. Its been raining like crazy here and they expect it to go up to 691.
Im going to my property to take some pictures of the flood and see how high on the land it goes.

Re: Lake Travis is flooding
Sorry to hear about the flooding out west. I live on Lake Conroe and it has been extremely low for three months now. My scarab churns up mud when pulling out of my slip. We can use the rain or the only boating I'll be doing is in my bass boat. Send some water my way (only during the week though).

Floodgate operations are continuing at Highland Lakes dams due to heavy rains. Flood watches and warnings continue throughout Central Texas. At noon today, one floodgate was opened at Mansfield Dam, which forms Lake Travis. Two additional gates may be opened. Rain continues scattered throughout the basin. Inflows to Lake Buchanan caused floodgate operations to begin at mid-day today and we expect to have three additional gates open by this evening. This will result in four to five feet of water over the spillway at Inks Dam. Residents on or below Inks Lake should be vigilant as these flood flows are released.
