Just cracked the 660 mark. 10 more feet and were in good shape.

662.15 and rising at 11am 1/30/09

Looks like we may have a lake this season.

664 and rising and a rainstorm on way tommorow,we may flood yet.
Gotta love TX,, Difference between drought and flood is just a couple months.

667 and rising

Appears we are on track to reach "seasonal average" elevation on Travis sometime late this weekend. I'm going to watch this closely....and if we do....it's Tequila shots on the balcony to celebrate.

669.39 this morning. That's a full 10' since last Friday.
I suspect the continued runoff will bring it up at least another foot and more rain in the forecast. C'mon El Nino!

...and I'm happy to report that as of this morning, at the Rough Hollow bend, the island turned small sandbar turned big sandbar turned jutting shoreline from the low point....is now completely submerged. Not even a small island anymore.
Big milestone.

Correction: My field reporter apparently over-enthusastic; current statis is not quite completely submerged, but is back to a small island

At this level is where newbies get into trouble, they think they can cut the corners in the lake forgetting that a week before those "corners" were rock peninsulas..
