Woooo flood gates open!
Oct 22^nd, 2009 at 8:05am

Upstream from Lake Travis caught some heavy flooding and they are opening the flood gates to let Lake Travis ease the reservoirs upstream. Supposedly is going to raise a foot an hour today and later this morning we'll get a solid projection for a total increase.

I hope everyone who had exposed boats and docks got everything secured.

I was up north of Travis in the flood plain areas yesterday and all the creeks are currently raging rivers. Good stuff!
