Summary
Heavy rains are triggering a major flood surge in the Llano River watershed, with water levels already rising 20 feet and flowing at over 60,000 cubic feet per second toward Junction. Officials are preparing to open floodgates at dams like Wirtz and Starcke to manage the surge, while rising flows could also push Lake Travis into its flood pool—potentially forcing Mansfield Dam to release water this weekend. Stay alert if you’re near the river or Highland Lakes as water continues moving downstream despite easing rain. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
