Which I am excited about. Watching the news they said there was some mega rain and hail. Looking at the geography it looks like that's where we need it to rain to drain in to Travis. Am I right?

Yeah you are right, rain falling on the lake does little for it. It needs a large area of rain to run off in to feeder streams.
This is a neat little article showing what a good rain storm can do:

According to this report, Lake Travis only went up a half a foot. It did damage several docks in the Sandy Creek area.

it seems pegged at the 630 range lately. That's an improvement from the daily drop!

I am rather skeptical that we'll be using Lake Travis at all this coming year. That's a crap load of water that has to come.
PROVE ME WRONG!

This steady rain is already making a difference, up to 631.
