Flood Gates Open?

Just called the automated line for Beaver Dam. Tailwater level was 934ft, recently it has been 927 with 2 units running. Does anyone know if they opened a few gates this evening?? I figured with the lake being only inches from top of flood pool and with 2-3 inches of rain today, it is only a matter of time until the open if they haven't already.

All of the floodgates at Beaver dam were opened on Monday around 6:30 pm, it was in the paper this morning. The Corp said the rain outpaced the turbines' processing capacity at 3:00 pm and they were running at maximum capacity of 9,000 cubic feet per second.
