this is part of a video that i got.. cant figure out how to post a video from text.

 

I've only seen something even close to that once or twice in the last 40 years.  Maybe never that high - can't recall it ever going over the bridge.  That's incredible!

TxDot is expecting imminent breach at the Llano bridge.

What does that mean? That the bridge will fail, or just that the water will go over the bridge?

LCRA hydromet says 275k cfs flow in Llano at the bridge - Yesterday it was roaring but at only about 20k cfs.

That's incredible.  

LCRA rain gauges to the west of Llano proper on the river all showing +10" of rain in the last 48 hours.

It was still flowing strong from the Junction flood runoff before this......throwing gas on the fire.

Pedernales at 20k cfs - crazy.

LCRA rain and streamflow data

Did I hear it right that this is even higher than the 1997 flood? Holy crap if so. 

I don't recall '97 being this high...I thought it was touching the base then.  We've always told of floods touching the bridge but never going over the highway.

That's another 10+ feet to breach.

11' difference in water level on the north end of LBJ compared to the south end. 

That seems like a lot.  Is that a lot?

Your mom thinks 11” is a lot.

So flood control lakes are currently doing their job?

Hey, come look through the window pane
The bus is coming, gonna take us to the train
Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain......

Llano River flowing backwards now

Burnet County Judge just said it was the Colorado River flowing backward due to the force of the water from the Llano flowing into it.

That reminds me that I’m past due for another high colonic

So wait on KXAN, they are saying Marble Falls is 12 foot high and topping the dam, and that’s before the huge flood wave hits Marble Falls?  And Travis is gonna flood hard. 

KXAN just said that Lake Marble Falls could go up another 6ft

1) What happens if Travis goes over pool level with all this rain? How high is the dam?

2) This water looks pretty dirty.  Is Travis still going to be nice and purdy? I'm only half kidding.  

 

 

Thankfully Lake Travis was down in the 650s. If it was at capacity it might have been 1991 all over again.

This Facebook feed just showed a bridge collapse. I'm not sure where exactly.

710' I think. Closest it ever got was in 1991 Christmas flood. That was mismanaged poorly however since most of the LCRA was on holiday break.

It’s creepy to see Travis at almost the same level as Marble Falls.
