I detect strong sarcasm.

But not sure at whom it is directed?

Me? Ballers? The OT? Perception of a baller?

Help me out. Spoon feed your wit to me.

The only thing Lake Travis is missing to make it cool is a Prop Stop. Anybody want to help me franchise a Prop Stop West over here? We need more chick fights, girls pissing on floors, and strippers in bikini contest.


That was Devil's Cove...

Oh, how I miss Devil's Cove.

Before and afters aren't worth much if they don't use the same angle for both. I get they are close, but would have been better if they were the same.


I thought this at first but it is the strewn boats and stuff that have been moved in the photos. Everything else is the same but with more vegetation.

And a shite ton more water. Did you scroll side to side? You didn't did you? You made my list, dummy.

Had you used the scroll function you would see a huge difference.

Need another 25 feet to fill it up


Only about 20 now, and Wirtz & Starcke Dams are open, so more water to flow into Travis!

I'm glad you're alive. Apparently I was out cold last night... Didn't even wake up with everything going on.

And with Starcke and Wirtz dams being open, more water will be creeping in as well. Right now it's going up about .05ft every 15 minutes.

Oh come on, really Rummy? Beat me by a few seconds.

Yes people you have to use the scroll bar. Pretty incredible it's still 20 feet down while most other lakes are in serious flood mode right now.

Canyon Lake is like 17 feet high. Gonna be a good summer of toobing.

If it didn't have what like 5 lakes/dams above it it'd be full by now

Buchanan is still a long ways off too, but it's deceiving because it's so deep. Only up 4 feet, but that's a LOT of water, comparatively.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup. Will actually make the Guad a decent option again. We were basically locked into the Comal until this came about.

I didn't realize how far below normal it still is, even after all the rain. Crazy to say it, but they need more to break the drought completely.
yeah a lot of those pics still look like they're at least 15 feet low

Right at about 20.5 right now, but that's Travis being all the way full, which doesn't happen often.

According to the USGS, most of the state is out of the drought right now, and nowhere is above Stage 2.

Hey arse hat I am defending the photos. He said that the before and after photos were taken in different locations. Use better reading comprehension and look at my previous posts.

I'm not interested in your post history. You said the only big change was the vegetation in the post I responded to. I got a 36 in the reading comp on the ACT. You need to be more clear when you write.
