Texas flooding continues, while damage starts to show

Water and debris has flown through the highland lakes over the last few days as major flooding has led to issues around the area.

Central Texas — The Texas Hill Country saw a large amount of rain over the last few days, which led to major flooding throughout central Texas.

At Lake LBJ, near the mouth of the Colorado River in Granite Shoals, you could see debris piled up on the banks. The debris included sticks, logs, trash, jet skis and even boats.

Not all of the debris could be accounted for in the Lake LBJ area, as more debris continued to flow downstream.

At Starcke Dam the amount of debris flowing through the dam was shocking, and brought many out from around the area to see the spectacle.

On Wednesday two of the flood gates had been closed, leaving only eight open and a lot less water flowing through the area, as the water levels began to drop in Lake Marble Falls.

The high amount of water had been dispersed downstream into Lake Travis, where the water levels rose throughout the day on Wednesday.

At Pace Bend Park, along Lake Travis, you could see debris up against the rocks in the form of broken up wood from items that had gone over the dams and you could find people's property.

Along the banks were floating docks, clearly out of place, and sunken jet skis.

Over the next few days, flooding will continue to be a concern. Be sure to use caution around the lakes and to always avoid flooded areas.
