fishinwrench Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 The current is ripping pretty good there. It will take some serious horsepower to coax that puppy around.
nomolites Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I have wrangled docks against wind and current and you ain't kidding Wrench - Somebody had to be asleep at the wheel to lose that. I was down over the weekend but would have needed waders to get up the ramp to the dock by the time the rain quit for a bit Sunday. Then got hung up in the I70 flooding heading home; it can clear up any time as far as I am concerned. Mike
fishinwrench Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I've heard two accountings on the dock. One said it took out 4 docks and came to rest near Bridal cave. The other says it took out 7 docks and was now anchored at Bridal cave. My guess is it hit 7, demolished 4, and is currently lodged in a pile of busted up docks within sight of BC.
nomolites Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 There aren't many rigs that could corral that once it got loose. After many years of regularly replacing cable we finally installed structural support arms in addition to our cabling. Sleep pretty good now, even in this weather, but you never know. Mike
Old plug Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 They got a lasso on it laker its just not large enough. The gates are wide open and discharging 102,531.80 cubic feet per second. Lake stands at 663.78. i think we will see 664 before its all over. i watch it every hour if I have a chance. It is causing damage to home up in mill creek. wrench----- if it gets windy it will bust up docks now. The cables are looser now than normal. Pat just cane back down 5 thru Grvois Mills. She sait it looked like it ws about to float a bunch of those trailors.
96 CHAMP Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I believe a buddy of mine at Trico Dock said they went up there and got hold of it, pretty sure that is what he told me, what's the story on that lake house that was sliding towards the lake last week, has it ended up in the lake since all this rain marcus 1

Old plug Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I am not to concerned about this prsent high water and damage they might incur though . Ice is my numver one concern when it ice breaks up in large chunks and starts to move they are unstoppable. I just sort of think of them as a locomotive barely moving along. They can and will rip a dock off its moorings no matter well connect they are. if not that they might just rip a cable or arm right out with its its anchoring. In the later case I have seen it bring down the sea wall with it. Anyone who has a dock or yard lights etc should be very concernd that it is safe. Anyone living here right now should have there their docks shut OFF at the circuit breker box. There is a lot of pressure in the state house to make the policy of ARMENS state law. I wired mine fully up to standard but still cut the powe to it day before yeasterday at the fuse box. i know some of it seems silly but electric has a way of wondering around all by itself so to speak. I bet there is a awful lot of docks walks and other exterior things that are HOT right now in these condition. marcus 1

Agreed - and good points; at least there are no swimmers(or not many)in the water now like there were in July. Mike
