Oops

Posted on September 5, 2007 | Comments Off on Oops

All that Hill Country rain yesterday has the Llano and Pedernales rivers running almost 4,000 cubic feet per second. Since both feed into the Highland Lakes, it’s just a matter of time before Lake Travis starts climbing again. In fact, the LCRA is predicting a rise of about half a foot by this evening. Fortunately that would be only about 683 feet msl, and the rain is expected to be over by tonight.

    Well, keep it up there in your lake this time, dammit. The Brazos is just beginning to settle down a little.

    Right off hand, I can’t see how the Colorado River would affect the Brazos River, JD, or are you just feeling curmudgeonly? But, in any case, the Army Corps of Engineers doesn’t allow floodgates to open on Lake Travis until the water reaches 691 feet msl. That’s a long way from where it’s expected to be by tomorrow, which is 683.
