Any News on the Lake Level

[coyote chop]

Trying to get some info on how high they expect the lake to get.  Been checking Ameren's phone info but it hasn't been updated since Friday at 11:10 AM and they aren't going to commit to a level.  I have a boat in my boat house and I think I should make a run and put it on my trailer.  In December it was almost covering my trailer tires in my boat house.  Any info would be appreciated. 

Thanks.

I've been looking for info also. Lake is up 18" since noon, but we still have a foot or so till it reaches regular summer pool. Here on the 15MM of the Niangua we have had a strong current with full grown trees floating past. Ameren is releasing 35000 CFS but it appears that needs to be increased ASAP.

The Niangua hasn't even crested yet so we have a ton of water headed our way.  The Gravois and surrounding creeks were as violent as I've ever seen them at about 1:30pm today.  

I expect the lake to hit 660+ by late morning tomorrow.   Maybe even sooner.   We have alot of water headed our way.

Thanks for the info.  Been watching the rise on Ameren's site and looks like the lake is rising about a foot an hour. 2:00 AM reading was 659.67.  Wrench with all the water you say we have coming our way looks like I am heading to Racoon Cove to save my boat.  Thanks again.

I underestimated it.   Looks like it hit 660 at 3:am and is still coming up this morning.   The Niangua still hasn't crested (unless the guage is broke). 

And at this rate Truman will be maxed out in 3 days.   

This is interesting!

I was wandering what it would look like, I reckon fishing is out of the question if it's as violent as you say Glen. 2 days off, can't go fishing, Bummer!!

It has settled down alot since yesterday, but still rising with alot of debris.   

I'm fine tuning spinnerbaits.  ?

I was thinking about tomorrow, wait and see I reckon. If the lake is at 660 and calms down can one put in at Coffman without problems?

Absolutely.  

Actually I just ran down and checked the Gravois ramp, it was choked with logs and debris last night, but it has cleared enough to launch/load now.  I'm sure there's a logjam further down.
