I lived in Austin for a couple of years, starting with the miserable heat of 2011. The island in the lake are normal to me, I've never seen it with water. This is weird

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.
It was sad to see that lake like that. I remember all the advertisements for Lake Travis back in the day. Wow

They've needed a lot of rain for a loooong time now. It's just very dangerous when it all comes over a span of a few days.

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.

Looks like Mexico.

I was really hoping and praying this would happen eventually. I honestly never thought it would fill back up. Awesome that they got the rain. A shame that it cost some people their lives.

Texans sure love building shite on flood control structures.... errr LAKES

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.

When I lived there back in 1990 there was no "Sometimes Island". The lake had enough water I guess to cover it up. Never knew it was there until now.

Damn, Texas is one ugly fricking state.
Rather than being exotic desert, or lush temperate climate, its some bastard combination of both.

I spent my early childhood on that lake. I used to love just riding in the front seat of my Dad's convertible driving to Mansfield dam pulling the boat.
Was such a nice view.
That and Lake Austin, I remember remarking when we moved to NOLA how the water was always brown, no mater if it was a lake, pond or river.
They sure needed this. Though the dry season is starting.

It appears that a lot of the pics look odd because there are a lot of floating docks there.
