No worries. The Lake filling up is a good thing. One of the few good things about these torrential rains, of late.
Most of Texas has been in a severe drought for several years now.
The highest point on that island/peninsula is 658 feet above mean sea level. The lake is considered "full" at (although it's gone well above this number many times) 681 feet above mean sea level. So, when the lake is full, the highest point on that island/peninsula is 23 feet below the surface of the water.

so, theres still room for filling?

Yes, it does. I'm glad that @donaldtoo and his family are o.k. I don't know much at all about Texas, but anytime now I hear about something near Austin, my ears perk up.

Thanks again!
Yes, I'm the same with news when it's comes to all the rest of y'alls locations in the country/world.

I posted the same thing 3 times! I shouldn't even try at night here because the wifi is so bad but I can't stay away. I won't post more pictures until a morning because less people competing for wifi.

Yes. As of 9p tonight, it was at 656.97 feet. Still 24.03 feet below what is considered "full".

sad? or liberating?

I have no idea why I imagine you acting all sad.. until she leaves.. then you're all IM FREEEEEEE!!!
and run to the parks to do all you can XD

My daughter is really sweet. I know I'm her mom but she just is. I think she is like @MOXOMUMD daughter.

 

[donaldtoo]

I don't think that was a flood, that was a lake filling back up after dropping down in water for many years. It was a good thing.

Exactly.

 

[donaldtoo]

Sorry, I misunderstood.

All good, no worries!

We have not a character breakfast, we do have a reservation for dinner at the Garden Grove later. We did go to the Swan but it was to check out where my daughter's shuttle was going to pick her up to take her to the airport. She had to leave to go back for school and work. It was sad for us.

Sympathy "like".

 

[donaldtoo]

You can always try early in the morning.. the wifi flies at 7:00 am or earlier
or later than 12:00 am (midnight)

Good morning! and stay hydrated! For those of us on the east coast we're getting Disney weather al week! YEA! I love summer! cue Olaf

We are getting Disney weather too, unfortunately it is coming with horrid rains. We have had 2 major storms today and the third is about to hit. Lake Garage again. Oy. As of this afternoon our river still had not gone over. We shall see in the morning. So far blessed.

 

[Gabe1]

I hate getting wet. That's why when I go on Splash Mountain I wear a rain poncho.

Somewhere I have a pic of my Sis taking my kids on the rapids and she is wearing a rain poncho.

 

[Gabe1]

We love Disney in summer! 90 degrees and a bit of humidity is just perfect for me!

Me I'd rather do Disney in the 70's and with less humidity.

This was "Sometimes Island" near Mansfield Dam on Lake Travis, about 10 min. down the road from us, recently. Also referred to as "All-the-time Peninsula" in recent years...

Here's that same section of the lake at 11:15a this morning...
