At 3 am, Beaver Dam started releasing more than 8000 cfs, more than doubling it's output.

Table Rock has only risen 9 inches but that's not real time. It has to be shooting up at any time.

Our level at the resort has risen about 2-3 feet but it's from back flooding and not increase release from Table Rock.

Bull Shoals has risen 12 inches in 24 hours but that's about what it's been doing.

We have another 4-5 hours of rain it looks like according to the radar.

It doesn't look good. I'll tilt the webcam or move it so that it shows the water level better later this morning.

Norfork Lake is above flood pool and rising. The corps will have to turn on the flood gates and I think Norfork will flood again.

[Terry Beeson]

You guys be careful down there... Prayers going up for you.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said it will open all the Norfork Dam floodgates 2 feet each at 7:30 a.m. today, said Corps lake manager Jon Hiser.

The floodgates first opened at 4 a.m. and opened one foot each at 6 a.m., the Corps reported.

The 12 floodgates will release water at 30,000 cubic feet per second, Hiser said. With the generators running, the amount of water released will be equivalent to 11 to 12 generators, he said.

At 5 a.m., Norfork Lake was at 580.83 feet and Bull Shoals Lake was at 688.76 feet, according to Corps information

The flooding down in south Fayetteville, on the west fork of the white river, which eventually ends up at twin bridges, is flooding worse than the other two floods a couple of weeks ago...

[Phil Lilley]

Clay- saw you in BP yesterday but didn't know it was you till you left.

Level is dropping out here but... it's short-lived. Got a pretty good tip that Beaver will double cfs this afternoon because what they are releasing now isn't keeping up. When they do that, TR will double its cfs.

More rain this afternoon and now they're saying tornadoes.

Just looked outside and the animals are lining up in pairs up here. Our thoughts are with you guys down south. PC

The 2 generators at Beaver put out about 8,500 CFS of water. The spill gates were opened today and they are going to increase the spill every hour until they are releasing 25,000 CFS of water from the gates by 1 this afternoon. So I here.

[Phil Lilley]

5 more gates just opened at Table Rock.

20,000 to 30,000 cfs released.

Not here at our dock yet. We'll see.

Watch the cam.

Lilley, wheres the link to the cam. Does it show the darn? does the corp have a cam link on the darn?
