was on that lake back in May 2009 - during a drought(like when is there not a drought in Texas).
Peoples docks, in some cases, were what looked like up to a couple of hundred feet from the water.
They had buoys strung across the lake, as boats would get grounded outside the area.
Some areas you couldn’t do more than putt-putt thru ‘em. Was calm that day.
That lake can get that low and then fill up in one long rain event. It can get dry in Austin but they can also flood, not an especially dry place like when you go further west, then it gets arid. I do recall that drought, I think I remember it happening at least one other time since I’ve been here, forty years.
I saw the videos of this though, and there was just an incredible number of boats, too many boats, thousands of boats, and moving at a rate of speed that couldn’t help swamping the smaller boats. Potentially tragic, thank God no one was hurt.
