Well, we should be full in a couple days. Good luck to all those dealing with the flooding up stream.

This is a dam (Wirtz) on Lake LBJ. Feeds down to one more lake and then in to Travis. Now you can see why Travis will be full within the hour.

Saw some video of boats and docks going over the spillway. Everyone stay safe. Think I saw where they were evacuating parts of lakes LBJ and Marble Falls

Video was of dam at Lake Marble Falls. See if link works.

Link works, but man, it cut off right before that Moomba went over the dam.

That is just heart-breaking to watch. I hope everyone takes precautions and we don't have any lives lost in all of this.

Lake Travis is projected to hit 705' to 710', it was full at 681. Getting dicey around here. Sure would be curious what Driller is thinking right now as I think he lives on Lake Travis.

Here is the closest ramp to me, Cypress Creek. It was closed most of summer because it was too shallow. The actual ramp is now 15' under water.

The marina tram at Lakeway is under water:

Lake Travis is full baby!. Up about 30' in 36 hrs. It's up to bout 20' over full pool height. I think it will be in the top 5 highest levels on record by the time she levels out. My thoughts for all those folks up stream with the heavy flooding.

My marina is doing ok. We pull the walkways and let them float until the water level stabilizes.

There is a parking lot under about 15' of water on the other side of the fence.

My boat is in the middle marina. I've been through this before and it will come out alright.

Looks like the marina on the far right has shifted some, most likely from the current as it is next to the main channel.

My home is high and dry.

Talk is that they will open 8 flood gates on the Mansfield Dam. Most they have ever opened was 6.

Good to hear you're high and dry. I have a friend who has a weekend place on Hudson Bend that had to have a crew come over and move every thing to the second floor in case it hits 710' like some are predicting.

I heard that it will overflow the spillway at 714'.
