Note to Jack...
I measured the debris at the West Beach Marina office.
At the flood's crest, the water was 25 inches at the front door of the office building!

Thats not too bad. At Texoma's crest Eisenhower's marina office, which was the last one in operation, was sitting in 6ft of water. Its going to have to be completely gutted. I don't know how long its going to take them to get going again, but I'm optimistic. I just got a bill from them - wish that would of gotten washed away in the flood

There is talk that Lake Travis might open this Saturday (7/14). If it does, I do not plan to go out until Saturday, July 21st.
I'm gonna let the bacteria levels drop before I get back on the water!

Planing on being there this weekend. Bob is not sure the power will be able to be turned on by then so will be staying down the road. I was told they got the club house cleaned up today.
Clay, thanks for the update.
Does anyone know when the grave yard comes out from under the water?

Texoma is still rising. My whole summer is shot - I hear its going to take 5 weeks to get back to normal. I'd still go boating, but they pulled all the meters off of my slip. For most locals its a lot more than just water damage. The lake is their economy and with no vacationers/boaters they can lose everything.
