Lake Travis Fills After Historic Floods | Austin News

Texas Hill Country’s flooding has sent the Llano River surging toward Lake Travis — the first time in seven years it might actually fill up. In response, Austin has banned all water activities on Lake Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and the Colorado River downstream of Longhorn Dam to protect the public. Two lives were lost in Kerr and Uvalde counties as rescue crews pulled hundreds from flooded areas, with neighboring states offering aid. Officials warn danger isn’t over — water’s still moving downstream, and road barricades must be respected. While the lake’s potential refill is a silver lining, this storm is a sobering reminder of nature’s force and the need to stay vigilant.
