Dried Up Lake
We moved to Brownwood in August, 2011 and there was a horrible drought going on. We had not been able to find a house to buy (no fault of the drought) so we were renting and it happened to be a house at the lake. The only water that remained in the lake was right in the center at the deepest part. Where we lived, we could walk down the boat launch and all the way across in all directions. We could barely even see water from where we were. We could walk completely under the bridge (I didn’t!) to the other side . . no water anywhere.
That lake being almost dried up was huge since so much of this area depends on the lake as its only supply for water.
As of today, the lake is 83.8% full. It has been completely full and flooding a couple of times since we’ve been here.

How much had the hurricane effected it?

The ex and I had a weekend home on Lake Buchanan, and by the time we sold it in 2005, the lake was starting to look like that. Our dock Stros high up on dry, cracked ground, with water visible waaaaaay off in the distance. That drought was long lasting and devastating for so many! Thankfully it didn’t get quite as bad as it did before the Great Depression hit…
