Anderson Mill Marina on Lake Travis is back to normal after all the recent rain. Until a few weeks ago, however, it looked like this, which is what it had looked like since last summer thanks to the drought which now seems to be pretty much over. Lakes and aquifers are up. Goodbye to dry.

Anderson Mill marina at Lake Travis where the water is forty feet lower than it should be due to a long drought. That’s the lowest the lake-reservoir has been since 1964. The marina is half its normal size because half the boats and their docks have been moved into deeper water closer to the main basin. All that brown land and white rock on the left and brown vegetation and white rock in the foreground normally is underwater. Meanwhile, the drought gets more savage by the week, despite the El Nino that’s supposed to bring us beaucoup rain this winter. Hasn’t yet, although an inch or so is predicted with the passage of a cold front tonight.
