Thanks for that insight. There are some greenie whackos out there in the media trying to portray it as the end of the world.

Record low for Travis was in the 50's @ 615. It's at 630 right now. The level fluctuates a lot but it's particularly bad right now. Evidently they are going to build some more dams down river to hold water for the rice farmers, hopefully that should prevent it from getting this bad in the future.

We had one little 5min shower late last month and one last week that lasted almost a full hour. Since then we've had no rain at all. Before that almost no rain since January.
I haven't seen Lake Lewisville just north of Dallas but I'm sure the docks at Sneaky Pete's are on the ground.

I spent some time at Lake Travis in the late 80's. It looks like there is a LOT of high-end real estate there that doesn't seem to be what it used to be.
I'll bet that it's a loooong climb up to Carlos 'n' Charlies now...
