Brushy Creek Lake a mess with debris

CEDAR PARK, Texas (KXAN) - It has long been a favorite spot in southern Williamson County, but now it is a rain-swollen mess filled with trash and debris. Brushy Creek Lake took a beating from the rains and will take a long time to clean it up.

Throughout the day Wednesday nearby residents came by to take pictures and shake their heads in wonder at the scene.

"Oh my goodness, I've never seen anything like this. That's amazing. That's a lot of water that came down real fast. Next thing you know there are no more boundaries anymore," Victor Fernandez gasped.

Another longtime resident was also amazed.

"It's pretty much a mess. I've only seen it once before like this in the 17 years I've been here," Scott Sales said.
