When you have a lot of questions …
When are the fireworks in Austin? What’s the weather going to be like? How are the lakes? What if I want to shoot off firecrackers anyway? Go here to get all the answers to your 4th of July questions.
When you want to keep your shoes on …
That’s a good idea. Be careful where you place your hands and feet upon entering or exiting Lake Travis when you’re near underwater rocks or structures. Lake Travis is filled with razor-sharp zebra mussels. The Travis County Parks Department is issuing a zebra mussel warning for holiday lake-goers.
When you’re out of date …
You could end up underwater. A study conducted by the National Weather Service indicated that in the immediate future, Central Texas is likely to experience more powerful storm events that will increase flooding by 30 percent. Now the city of Austin’s current flood maps are out of date, and they are speeding up the timeline to mitigate increased flood risk in the area.
When you fill the Yeti …
These Austin beers are made to pair with patriotic good times.
When you want to move here …
Two of the most expensive lakes to live on in America are Lake Travis (#4) and Lake Austin (#3) out of 16. So if you don’t have ten million dollars, then you might have to settle for living in one of the seven hottest neighborhoods to call home in Austin.
