Lawsuit- AR farmers vs COE

[fishinwrench]

The worst flooding (most substantial rainfall) we have had here at LO in recent memory have been during October, early December, and on the 4th of July.   

So why are they only preparing for floods during the Spring ?

So the wake boats and ocean cruisers will have plenty of water during the summer. Recreation interest rules.

Lower all the lake conservation levels by 40' or so and there might be a hope of flood control/prevention, as is the only thing they do is delay the start and extend the duration of the down stream  flooding.

I always thought it would be a shrewd move for Ameren to lower LO about 14-16' and put all these lakefront homes on second tier ....    Then they could resell lakefront property all over again.   🤣
