High water levels at Lake Travis causing flooding

Water levels at Lake Travis continue to rise and its prompting evacuations for those who live near low lying areas.

On Tuesday there was a voluntary evacuation as Travis County deputies went door-to-door at Graveyard Point to let residents know the water was rising. 

Just before 11:30 a.m. Wednesday Lake Travis was at 697 feet, the highest level in about a decade. It could go up between 705 to 710 feet by Friday, which would mean disastrous flooding for Graveyard Point.
