The astounding amounts of rain that have fallen in Texas and Oklahoma during the past few weeks has led Lake Travis, one of the city of Austin's main reservoirs, to go from the poster child of drought to healthy reservoir in just several days

As of May 26 at 9:45 a.m. CDT, the water level in Lake Travis was 655.52 high, up from 633.56 feet on May 19. That's a difference of nearly 22 feet. And going back further in time, to one month ago, the lake was at just 629.38 feet of water, which means it rose 26 feet over that period

Lake Travis is expected to rise to 657 to 660 feet by Wednesday – that’s up more than 22 ft in the last week.
