A much anticipated soaking rain that slowly swept throughout most of Texas this
past weekend has brought welcome relief to the state. For the residents of The
Hollows on Lake Travis, it was especially anticipated, as the lake waters have
been down over 40 feet, creating conditions not often seen in the area.
The rain began falling late Saturday night and fell throughout the night for a total of 2 inches in accumulation. The rain that fell on the lake along with the feeding tributaries and run off, caused the drought-ravished Lake Travis to rise a full foot higher than last week.
Patrick Cummins, Hospitality General Manager for The Hollows on Lake Travis stated: “We haven’t seen rain here in so long, we forgot what it looked like! Everybody was
really, really happy that we finally received a substantial amount of water!”
Although there is much more rain needed to make up for the “exceptional drought” that the area has been experiencing, last weekend’s rain was more than a drop in the bucket.
