rps Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Here it comes again, this should set a record in the number of times the flood gates open. How much can Table Rock take right now? After more than a week of 4 gates, we were down to 918.5. It has already started to climb and right now it's raining hard here. The last two flood years the lake peaked at 930 and 934. I don't think the corps ever wants to see 934 again. The real key in all of this is down stream - how much more can Bull Shoals hold and what are the farm conditions in the delta. If the corps can open BS without flooding farmers there is a much greater leeway. If they need to protect the corporate farmers, they will hold BS water and we have a limit on what can be filled. Edit: I just checked BS levels. The flood pool top is listed as 695 and the current lake level is 686, so some room exists. I will note the site says normal for July at BS is 661 feet.
Members zummy Posted July 7, 2015 Members Posted July 7, 2015 I am just hoping the ramps are still usable Thursday morning to pull the boat out.

Stump bumper Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 Looking at the level of the tail waters, 926, I am guessing the flood gates are open again. Has anyone seen for themselves?

Stump bumper Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 3rd time this year, right? Yes, I wonder how many years they have opened this many times? None that I can remember, but I have only been here since 2001.
Members oldfella Posted July 10, 2015 Members Posted July 10, 2015 I was wondering what the record was for latest flood gate opening. July 9th seems way late.
Guest Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 We've reached critical mass. The system can only withstand so much.
