Buchanan Dam Floodgates Open For First Time Since 2019 As Central Texas Lakes Swell
With a reminder of just how much rain Central Texas has received this month, the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) opened floodgates at the Buchanan Dam on Monday, marking the first time this has happened since 2019. The LCRA opened up the gates as scheduled, after lakes across the Highland Lakes chain have surged toward capacity, forcing officials to manage rising water levels and inflows from ongoing storms. In an X post published on Monday afternoon, photos from the LCRA show the opened floodgates at Buchanan Dam, allowing excess water to be sent downstream into Inks Lake. Meanwhile, the Wirtz Dam currently has one floodgate open, with another set to follow soon, and the Starcke Dam already has multiple gates open. Because Inks Dam doesn't have floodgates, water there was spilling directly over its concrete lip before flowing into Lake LBJ, Marble Falls, and eventually Lake Travis. Lake Buchanan is now nearly full at 97% capacity, while Lake Travis has climbed more than 29 feet in recent days to reach about 78% capacity. Projections from the LCRA show that both lakes could continue to rise by several feet over the next day if rain persists. 'We Texans love being on the lakes during the summer, but this is not the time and not the place,' said John Hofmann, LCRA executive vice president. 'There continue to be significant flood flows throughout the Highland Lakes, and we strongly advise everyone to stay off the lakes for the next few days.' Alongside powerful currents, debris from recent flooding and higher-than-normal bacteria levels have made conditions even more hazardous for boaters and swimmers in the area. In response, local authorities have closed certain lake areas to recreational use. The City of Marble Falls has temporarily shut down Lake Marble Falls, and Travis County has prohibited recreation on parts of Lake Travis upstream of Mile Marker 36, near Sandy Creek Park. Officials are also now urging residents to monitor lake level updates and floodgate operations in the days ahead, as more gates may be opened if rain continues to pour into the watershed. Real-time lake information and flood updates are available at where the public can also sign up for direct alerts on changing water conditions. For now, officials say patience is key. 'The best and safest course of action is to avoid being in the lakes until things settle down in a few days,' Hofmann added.

Texas Search and Rescue continues urgent underwater missions in Kerrville, battling fatigue and rain to find human remains and bring closure
Search and recovery efforts continue in Kerr County, 12 days after the tragic flood that claimed more than 130 lives along the Guadalupe. CBS News Texas shadowed Texas Search and Rescue in an area along the river where cadaver dogs might have found human remains. Despite the constant rain, heat, and exhaustion, the crews are doing whatever it takes to bring families closure. "It's almost hard to believe the force that water had," said TEXSAR Operations Manager Patrick Turck. Turck said he has crews coming from all over the state to their patch of the Guadalupe River, where they are aiming to find what they believe could be human remains. "I told they guys before we go out today, 'If it was your family member that was missing, how hard would you dig through that debris?' And I said, 'Don't give me an answer, think about it and get to work,'" Turck said.. The operation's biggest hurdle is digging up debris underwater, which just so happens to be a mission made for Dave Knesek, a former Navy SEAL of 20 years. "This is something I felt like I was suited to do," said Knesek. "There's entanglement-type hazards, there's strainers and things you can get pushed into." In Ingram, North Texas horse trainer, Casey Hildago, came to Kerr County from Granbury with just his horse and truck. He said his mission was to go to the most remote riverbanks to search for debris. The long days were worth it when a search ended in what he calls "a victory." "We just found out today, one of our locations we found on Thursday was confirmed to be one of our teammates' friend's daughters. It makes me want to go back out there and help for another week," Hidalgo said. Crews are battling both time and fatigue, but Turck said faith has been their fuel to keep going. "I can't say that any of the crews have suffered from any type of mental stress because the Kerrville Community has embraced us," said Turck. "We try and keep the focus on bringing these people home." It rained on and off Tuesday, and crews said the weather temporarily halted some operations. However, TEXSAR said it treats every day with urgency and will stay until it is no longer needed.

1 year ago Tuesday: 32 tornadoes touch down in Northern Illinois, Northwest Indiana
Tuesday marks one year since a historic and devastating tornado outbreak in Chicago. On Monday, July 15, 2024, 32 tornadoes touched down in the greater Chicago area alone — including several within the city limits — downing trees and power lines and damaging dozens of homes. This single-day figure of 32 tornadoes for July 15 beat a record of 22 tornadoes on June 30, 2014. Meanwhile, a total of nine were confirmed from the first round of storms the day before — Sunday, July 14. One of the tornadoes on July 15, 2024, an EF-1, hit the Near West Side of Chicago and far western portions of the Loop. An EF-1 tornado also plowed through the city's South and Southwest sides from Chicago Lawn to West Englewood, and an EF-0 tornado hit Chicago's West Town community. Tornadoes also hit several other locations throughout the suburbs and collar counties, other surrounding Northern Illinois counties, and Northwest Indiana. According to the National Weather Service, there were also long stretches with multiple tornadoes occurring at the same time that Monday night. At one point, a total of five tornadoes were ongoing simultaneously.
