At 10:00 pm Sunday night, Lake Travis dropped to the 3rd lowest level in its history. Here are the updated records of all-time lowest lake levels:

1) 614.18' set in August of 1951
2) 615.02' set in November of 1963
3) 636.58' (and falling) set in August of 2009
(tie) 636.58' set in October of 1984
5) 640.24' set in October of 2000

Lake Travis is still dropping about a foot and a half per week. No measurable rainfall is in the forecast for at least the next 5 days.
