This is what almost 18 feet above normal looks like in the Cypress Creek channel at Lake Travis. The floating docks on either side rose, the flagpole didn’t. And the cleat for the flag’s halyard being well underwater, nobody’s going to be taking it down soon. Especially when LCRA says almost 3 inches of rain Saturday in the Colorado River watershed around San Saba will push the lake to 701 feet in a few days. It could be weeks before things are back to semi-normal.
