As is the case most of the time in life you never can tell what the week will bring you. This week brought us Hermine and around 12 inches of rain in a 36 hour period (give or take depending on where you live in Austin). If you live on Lake Travis you know that this means that you spent this week wondering how all this water would affect you and how many times you are going to have to move your dock.

According to the LCRA website we started the week approximately 17 feet below the full level and we are ending the week at 10 feet below the full level. Which after the multi-year drought we endured over the past couple of summers this is a nice change of pace.

There is always the inevitable clean-up after a deluge such as this, but with the memory so fresh of what is like with no water I think we are all breathing a sigh of relief.
