Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted April 12, 2008 Root Admin Posted April 12, 2008 8 pm they're raising our level again- they can't keep up with the water coming in. Another 10,000 cfs at 8 pm. Will be 55,000 They opened the flood gates at Beaver Dam today as far as it will go... 7 feet.
Kansas Fly Fisher Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 What's this mean in terms of the number of feet it's expected to rise? I wish I didn't live so far away or I'd head that way to help out. Best I can do is to keep you and everyone down there in my prayers. John Born to Fish, Forced to Work KSMEDIC.COM

Members D.T. Posted April 12, 2008 Members Posted April 12, 2008 Phil, How much further can they open the gates? At what point do they open the emergency overflow gates? Will another 2' put the water in the lower units there at your place. I pray for safety for all of you as well as limited damage to the resort. Dave
