At this hour, with four flood gates still open on Mansfield Dam, it’s down to 693.01 feet msl. But Anderson Mill Marina says the family sloop won’t be accessible until the lake drops another seven feet, to about 686, which won’t likely be this weekend. The marinas on each side of ours, Cypress Creek and Riviera, already have access, but their slip rental is a lot higher. Anderson Mill also has terrain problems (when the lake is above 686) which they don’t have. You can get a sense of how high water would flood the marina’s little available land in this unflooded photo.
UPDATE LCRA was set to close one of the flood gates at 3 p.m. Friday, when the height was down to 691.01. I suppose it was dropping too fast for them. Also there’s rain forecast downriver.
