holy crap

The drought continues to be a problem for most Texans. This week 60 percent of the state is still experiencing drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.

And bodies of water in Central Texas have been some of the hardest hit by the constant shortage of rain.

Medina Lake, long a San Antonio destination for outdoor family fun, counts itself among those lakes struggling with the dry conditions.

The lake's capacity is 254,884 acre feet, which converts to just over 83 billion gallons. That is enough to fill the Alamodome nearly 145 times.

Today the lake's water level is 3.3 percent full, enough to only fill four Alamodomes.
