another twitter comment..seems like many like me are questioning LCRA
@LCRA I’m so disappointed that you can’t open even one or 2 flood gates to reduce the rise of lake travis. My basement will flood at 710 above MSL and I have to move everything. This is a huge risk if it keeps raining which is forecast.
We keep getting emergency messages from the city of Bur-nette. The old saying is “It’s Burnet, durn it. Can’t you learn it?” Most annoying they can’t even pronounce it correctly. Just like reporters are mispronouncing Llano as Yanno and the floods from the San Sa-Baaa River.
They also say the Braw-zos River. I call and call to correct them but they keep on with their Californica pronunciations.
Rain hasn’t just fallen in the central basin. River and stream are running high downstream also. There’s no way the LCRA can please everyone. People were informed that Travis and Buchanan were built for flood control and that the constant level lakes were there to pass that water thru also at what level the water might rise to. If they built within any of those flood plains, it’s their problem.
Other than that, this is an historic flood with historic results.
