We finally got some rain, I hope we get a lot more we sure need it.
Austin’s year to date rainfall of 12.94 inches through September 30 makes this the 7th driest year on record. Most area streams have dried up and most springs have slowed to a trickle.
Area lake and aquifers levels have dropped several feet over the past few months due to the persistent hot and dry weather.
Meager inflows into the Highland Lakes over the last few months now match all-time record low inflows recorded in 2006.
