October 16, 20187 yr Looks like a kickass garage sail on, and under, Lake Travis this weekend! Better than the Sami Shows!

October 16, 20187 yr KVUE just confirmed the "290" bridge south of Kingsland collapsed. Edited October 16, 20187 yr by Steel Shank not dam, bridge. my bad
October 16, 20187 yr So what’s the possibility of Travis hitting 690??Sure fucking hope not, that's close to being in my house... LCRA needs to start letting out some water for the rice farmers !!!

October 16, 20187 yr Did I just hear someone say "Fucking Right" in the background as Jim said he would be getting a U-Haul right now if he lived in graveyard point? Edited October 16, 20187 yr by texhorn

October 16, 20187 yr Video of the FM 2900 bridge collapsing at link: https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/video-catastrophic-flooding-on-llano-river
October 16, 20187 yr I think it's also the "2900 bridge". Now the big question is will the 1431 bridge hold?

October 16, 20187 yr @MarbleFalls_TX 23m23 minutes agoMore The city is asking all residents to adopt the "If its brown, flush it down; if its yellow, let it mellow" philosophy until further notice Edited October 16, 20187 yr by Digdogger

October 16, 20187 yr 19+ inches of rain and counting at my house in Dallas the last month. This link uses an automated system of rain gauges around Dallas to measure rainfall. They are usually very accurate: http://www.ci.dallas.tx.us/sts/html/fc.html
October 16, 20187 yr Man, those shots of the turbulent water at Max Starcke Dam are truly "nature you scary" worthy.

October 16, 20187 yr A friend with a lake house in Sunrise Beach on LBJ just lost her boat from her boathouse, so it's now part of the debris moving downstream I'm sure. Another friend near her, says his boat is basically pinned to the ceiling of their boathouse. Hopefully it'll stay tied up when the water recedes. Their houses are both quite a bit higher than the waterfront, so shouldn't be any danger of flooding, but right now, ya never know...
