Kimberling bridge is very much open. It was open in 2011 with two more feet of water.

dtrs5kprs Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Closing the bridge tells me folks need to brace for a disastrous release of water. Didn't happen in the other flood years. Muddy Water and crazy4fishin 2

If nothing else, they could have had a foot or two less water, which would have been huge. I can't complain too loud. Water stayed out of most of the houses that got hit in 2015, including my friend's place. Yes, Bull had some room and still does, but there is also a little more rain in the forecast. They play the odds the best they can, with the data they have, according to the rules they have. I'd say their rules need updating a little, but I wouldn't say this was screwing the pooch. Looks to me like they did OK this time, as compared to 2015. They were drawn down in the winter, and released what they had to to stay on top of the rain event as it came, and didn't over-release and flood more than they had to. I'd score this one at least a B- as I see it from my armchair. 96 CHAMP and vernon 2
cheesemaster Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Here is my mailbox and the front porch to my house at 934.5 by Cape Fair/Virgin Bluff. There are a few missing docks from my area as well. Muddy Water and dtrs5kprs 2
96 CHAMP Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Sure hope it doesn't get much higher for your sake. Good luck!! Muddy Water, dtrs5kprs and vernon 3
