Neighbors at the Lake and Mexia Friends,
I wanted to let you all know that I am operating a weather station and camera at the lake that provides continuously updated weather information in real time, right from our house at the Lake. This is non profit, no advertizing, website. My son and I do this as a hobby and public service. Feel free to look around.... check out the links on the left side of the home page screen. And feel free to pass this on to your friends and family!!
Since 1999, neuba.com (and sister sites: wx.mansionmail.com and lakemexia.net) have been delivering real time live weather data and images to the Plano area, and Central Texas region. We own and operate weather servers, Davis weather stations, and high resolution Axis and Logitech cameras. Please take note that there is no advertizing or spam of any kind.
In addition to our own site, we upload our weather data to Weather Underground with updates every few seconds. You may want to check out our links to Weather Underground - Google Radar!
Feel free to email me with any constructive feedback!
Best regards!
Ed
LAKE MEXIA. Lake Mexia is on the Navasota River seven miles southwest of Mexia in north central Limestone County (at 31°39' N, 96°35' W). P. P. Prescott and Sons, Incorporated, began construction of the Bistone Dam in July 1960 and completed it in June 1961. It is an earthfill dam, and its spillway has an elevation of 448 feet above sea level. The drainage area above the dam is 198 square miles. The project is owned and operated by the Bistone Municipal Water Supply District. Lake Mexia has a surface area of 1,200 acres at its normal capacity of 10,000 acre-feet. It provides water for the City of Mexia and the Mexia State School and also is used for industry and recreation.
