LAKE TRAVIS UPDATE
This morning Lake Travis dipped below 640' for the 1st time in 25 years. It is at the 4th lowest level on record. The LCRA is predicting the lake to drop to 635 at the end of August. That would be 3rd lowest level on record. Here are some photos of how the current drought is impacting Lake Travis.
This first one is from July 2007. After the big flood in Marble Falls, Lake Travis was full for the 1st time in years.
The islands are getting bigger and bigger. They have been around so long there is grass growing on them. Notice the drop off near the marina.
Windy Point now is in the middle of the lake.
I hope the wet forecast for this Fall and Winter comes true or we will nearing the record low of 614' by early next year.
