“We responded to multiple calls of boats in distress, several of them sank,” but there are no reports of fatalities or injuries and investigators have not determined how many boats sank on the lake near Austin, according to Travis County sheriff’s spokesperson Kristen Dark.
Dark said weather conditions were generally calm and meteorologist Paul Yura with the National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio said there were were no storms in the area at the time and winds were generally 10 mph (16 kph) or less.
Dark said “no reason to suspect foul play”.
Lake Travis is about 12 miles NW of Austin.
