June 28, 20232 yr Saw a friend post on Facebook (so we know it has to be true) that they are closing the boat ramp at Mansfield Dam. If that's true, the only public ramp open is the one at Pace Bend Park. Could use some rain I suppose.

Everybody out there watching this site https://isthelakefullyet.com/#volume
June 30, 20232 yr The 8-14 day outlook, which spent about 3-4 days showing "wetter than normal" is now back to "normal" which means zero rainfall.

Shame this site doesn't have historical data, but then again, this is one of those sites that 100% delivers on what the domain name says. https://isthelakefullyet.com/#volume

Not sure why they stopped then, I guess they got bored, but there are other sites that have more recent data. http://www.laketraviswaterlevel.com/
July 2, 20232 yr Has Lake Travis ever been really low and been filled up by steady consistent rain over time or has it always taken a flood?

July 2, 20232 yr The last time we had a low-high cycle was 2014/2015. It reached its lowest of around 622 in November 2014, and was full at 680+ a little over a year later. The majority of that occurred due to the Memorial Day flooding in Central Texas in 2015. Same storm that devastated Wimberly. Edited July 2, 20232 yr by utee94
July 2, 20232 yr I went down to Wimberley with some fellow shaggroids to help clean up. I've never seen devastation like that. Massive cypress trees completely ripped out by their roots. Entire houses smashed to nothing. Edited July 2, 20232 yr by MissingInAction

Massive cypress trees completely ripped out by their roots. Entire houses smashed to nothing. Yeah, we drove up that Tuesday. Worked directly across the Blanco from where the Porsche ended up on the house's slab. Just an insane night that Saturday was. Blanco rose 36 feet in less than 4 hours, five feet every 15 minutes from 10:45P to 11:45P. The Charba and McComb kids were never found I think. Agree that the Cypress devastation did and still stands out as much as anything. It really was hard to imagine.
July 3, 20232 yr Feels strange to hope for a flood knowing that it’s going to cause significant property damage and people will likely lose their lives. But it’s the only way this city continues to exist.

July 7, 20232 yr Houston area got at least some rain just about every day since Sunday evening, with some pretty substantial totals Wednesday thru this morning. Looks like we may still get one more round tomorrow afternoon. Sprinklers caught a multi-day break, which was much appreciated, as it doesn't appear we'll be getting any more for the 2 weeks to follow. Edited July 7, 20232 yr by Storm the Field
July 22, 20232 yr What that stuff on my radar app out at 620 and 2222?? Edited July 22, 20232 yr by Hpara759
July 22, 20232 yr WATER IS FALLING FROM THE SKY IN 78730, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW??
July 22, 20232 yr Just had 10 minute downpour in Lakewood, near 360/2222. Clouds, thunder, the whole works. Damn strange.
July 22, 20232 yr Right as I'm getting the kids ready to walk over to the neighborhood swimming pool after being cooped up this afternoon, fucking lightning/thunder, but no rain.

August 9, 20232 yr Fuck this guy. Quote JUNCTION, Texas (KXAN) — A private dam proposed on the South Llano River, a major tributary to the Highland Lakes, is the center of a debate in the Hill Country this week as a public hearing set for Thursday evening approaches. It all started in 2018 when then-CEO of Phillips 66, Gregory Garland, filed an application with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, or TCEQ, to dam up the river and create a private pool. Quote The proposed size of Garland’s private recreational pool, filed under Waterstone Creek LLC, is 12 acre-feet of water — roughly 3.9 million gallons. That’s enough water to cover an entire football field with water nine feet deep. https://www.kxan.com/texas-water/houston-oil-executive-wants-to-build-private-dam-for-recreation-on-south-llano-river/

August 9, 20232 yr This thread being bumped got me all excited so I checked the 10 day forecast. Should have known better...
