 LCRA graphic of Lake Travis on the way up, flooding some homes, isolating some marinas, and covering some private docks, with up to another 5 feet expected, and more possible. By 11:30 p.m., it was at 693.30.

Catastrophe 2007

LCRA is now projecting that Lake Travis will rise to almost 697 feet above mean sea level by tomorrow afternoon, despite having four flood gates open. That would be sixteen feet above full. Have to check but that might be a record height. That’s just from the rain that’s fallen so far. More rain is expected out there tonight.

UPDATE LCRA has closed the lake to recreational boating. City of Austin has, likewise, closed its waterways. Debris, etc.
