How About This Weather We've Been Having?

About 25 feet from full now and expected to be about 20 feet from full after today. Wow, what a couple of days.

 

The only good thing about this mess is I can work from home but then again I'm going to sleep. No way I'm checking mail having been stranded all night with little sleep.

My excuse is in - power lines are gone so no internet!

 

Haha same excuse!

my car got flooded. it was worthless and junk. kinda looking fwd to getting something new

 

Lake Travis is at 656' above sea level. Normal for this time of year is about 670'. I suspect that it will continue to go up for a while. The rise is amazing. 30 days ago, it was at 629.38! Terrible that it's come at such a cost. Sounds like the flooding in Houston now is a bit like a flood I remember back in the 1970's. I hitched a ride in a canoe for several blocks through the Montrose area to my place between Richmond and West Alabama, a few blocks towards Montrose from S. Shepherd. It was crazy. Best wishes to those struggling with the flooding in both Houston and Austin.

 

What kind of snake is that?

 

Looks like water moccasin. Dangerous snake if so.

 

Wow, that is incredible footage. That area got hit pretty hard.

 

Spoiler
