Beaver Flood Gates

[jolicious]

Miss Sherry just read an interesting tidbit to me:

"At 9.5' draining, the flood gates are moving an Olympic swimming pool's worth of water per second"

Seriously, take a second and think about that.

Every second.

Mind boggling.

Bull is up 13.5 foot from when I last fished it. All the Beaver water has yet to arrive and only some of the TR water is here so far. And then you have all the normal runoff. I think we would have had about a 10 foot rise without any water from TR and Beaver. I thought Fish 24/7 was crazy when he said 680, but now I'm concerned they will open the floodgates again.

Seems like they opened them up a little more than that today. The cfs is in the 8000's. Not sure I've seen them that high before.
