I have friends in San Marcos, TX where I went to school for two years who have been posting images of the flooding there. Blanco River is causing first floor apartments to flood. Students are becoming stranded. Incredible how fast it is rising. Such a serious life threatening situation going on.

Staff Report
Mandatory evacuations are now ordered for residents in the area of concern for the Lewis Creek power station near Willis, officials said in a news release Sunday about 6 a.m.
Those neighborhoods are: Pelican Bay, Lakeside Place, Point Aquarius, Lake Conroe Hills, Walnut Cove, Lake Conroe Bay, Shadow Bay, Country Run, Enchanted Waters, and Bishop’s Landing.
The National Weather Service forecasts predict increased rain and thunderstorm activity on Sunday, which could bring 2 to 3 inches and damaging winds through the evening. An additional 2 to 4 inches of rain is possible Monday as rains continue.
Officials said that in light of this information regarding the potential for heavy rain today and with an abundance of caution, the County Judge Craig Doyal, Sheriff Tommy Gage, and Precinct 1 Commissioner Mike Meador met with emergency officials and determined that mandatory evacuations are now appropriate for residents that fall in the area of concern, according to the release issued by the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management.
A Red Cross shelter is open at the Lone Star Community Center in Montgomery, which is located at 2500 Lone Star Parkway.
Emergency management officials stressed that at this time, the dam remains intact and there are no breaches. They said workers continue to make progress to mitigate the soil slides along the levee, which has been in danger since officials cautioned
The Entergy customer information center is open today from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the North Montgomery County Community Center at 600 Gerald Street in Willis. Residents can speak to an Entergy representative about the situation. For general information, or assistance please call the United Way 211 call center or 713-957-4357, and choose the “General Information” option.

Just a quick line of storms currently moving through and that's about it thankfully.
Radar shows no more lines heading this way - storms hit and now moving east - non event for us. Prayers and thoughts to all our neighbors in the hill country that received all the slow mowing storms.

Yep, thankfully we didn't get anything near what was forecasted...just a quick moving line that lasted just long enough for me to get my first cup of coffee. I might have squeezed a half inch out of it. That should quiet things down for the rest of the day.

For the first time in 3 years, Lake Travis is now at 50% capacity. The lake rose 5% in just 12 hours ... and we're talking about a 680-foot lake folks. Amazing. Tomorrow is going to be another rough one.
