About to go to 80,000 crest level is correct for TR. beaver should crest anytime if it hasn't already. TR's high level is dictated by the level of the electric motors controlling the gates. That's about 937-8 feet. My guess. They can't let it go over that and lose the motors. They'd lose control of the gates and release. I can forward the corp email if any questions. Bad info all over the place esp Facebook. Thanks for the info Phil. This looks like a very bad deal indeed. Stay safe, we will be praying for everyone in the area.
crazy4fishin Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Champ you are right about social media, the news and even coffee shop gossip! but the picture cant be to far from the current day truth...I just checked out Phil's FB page and watched the vid of his one cast.....he has a pretty good sense of humor considering what is going on in the background!

merc1997 Bo Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 the coe certainly does not have flood control first on its mind any longer. it is power generation. if flood control was first, they would automatically draw the lakes down to lower elevations going into winter, just as they used to when they did make flood control first priority. table rock always used to be near 907 or lower by summers end, and by the start of winter 905 or less. bull shoals was drawn down 15 ti 20 feet below pool. that way there was room to put water such as we just received. until flood control again is the first priority of the coe, we will have flooded lakes every year. just my opinion and observations since i moved here in 1963. bo mixermarkb, abkeenan and magicwormman 3

Amazing amount of water out there. This water is likely to be around a while. Lots of precip, not just in the White R. watershed, but also the Osage, MO, Miss R., all the way up the line. Does anyone have any info on Grand's level?
Champ188 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 At 4 p.m. today (Monday), Grand was at 754, or 1 foot short of the top of flood pool, which is 755. It's still rising.
