More rain... great water conditions

[Phil Lilley]

and more water in Table Rock ensures generation this summer.

Table Rock continues to rise with the help of continuing rain. And it's the best kind of rain--long and gradual--good soaking rain which our water tables need.

TR is rising at a click of 12 inches per day the last couple of days and today is no exception. Fast approaching 911.0, it's only 4 feet from power pool but to be honest, normal pool for this time of year is about 917.

When the Corp finally cuts loose the water, the junk that's collected for the past 6 months will break up and some down... it won't be pretty. But it's much needed. The upper lake's bottom is covered with alge and roten stuff. I can't imagine it's good for the bugs.

Fishing is good. Well it was slow today off the dock but most everybody caught their limit- it just took longer. I told some people this morning early that the chance of rain was 20% today... I was looking at the NewsLeader not the computer. Opps- how about 100%. It's just now starting to stop. So not many boats were on the water today.
