Lake Houston Has Lowered Its Level

Yes, Lake Houston level has dropped about 2 feet from yesterday! Not sure why. We are expecting rain starting tomorrow evening through about 6am Sunday. Calling for 1-2inches total so not a big deal. Here are a few pix if the bulkhead. You can see the wetness of the previous level.

Also a just for fun photo of a Green Heron taking advantage of the low bank for his dinner! Enjoy!

@ginx: Sadly no beer in fridge today as the Sam Adams Cold Snap seasonal variety is no longer available. Oh well! It'll be back next January!

According to a CoH press release, the lake will be lowered 18" for spillway maintenance which should take about a week then allowed to fill back up….

@KathyMarshall : I think this is more Mother Nature. Waters across Texas are suffering from low levels.

@Smokeybear: Thanks for the spillway maintenance info. That makes sense!

I wonder when they'll get a chance to add the extra gates that have been planned since post-Harvey. Last I read, some of the original monies for this project are no longer in the budget.
