Lake Travis Flooding Continues

With Lake levels rising every hour, the current level is 699.79 ft. and will rise to 701 ft. this week. Mansfield Dam will continue to keep four floodgates open and will not open any more than the current four floodgates at unless Lake Travis is forecast to rise above 710 feet msl based on rainfall already having fallen. This is a great example of buying a home without reading and being aware of the elevation and flood plain maps. Since Thursday

June 28, 2007, this home is now completely underwater. if you are considering buying waterfront property it is very important to know where the food plain line in on that property. If not you could be swimming in your home during the next big rainfall.
