A Sad Day - The Oasis Burns Down
A major lightning storm came through around 4:30am this morning.
A lightning bolt apparently caught the decks of the Oasis Restaurant on fire which quickly spread to the entire complex. Here's the News 36 account and video.
This restaurant is a key reason many visit Austin with its glorious view of Lake Travis and sunsets which get standing ovations.
Let's hope the rebuild is quick...
Update: Some good news, the bar and dance club, Starlight which is connected to the Oasis was undamaged, so dancing in the moonlight overlooking Lake Travis will continue on.
Also the rebuild is underway and their expecting the project to take 6 months.
