I just checked the water levels at Caplinger Mill and it seems like they started running some water out of Stockton yesterday. I figured if they drop the lake 1" a day it will take them 7 months to get back to power pool level IF it doesn't rain any more. I then looked at the long range rain forcast and cried.

 

Ugghhh

If they could just get it down to 8-10ft above pool I'd be happy,  at that point MOST everything would be accessible again.

Just looked at Stockton Lake level this morning at 10AM the lake was at 885.18. Certainly not going down any. I had hoped that once they opened the gates on Lake of the Ozarks, that Truman and later Stockton would start letting out some of their excess water. On the 18th Truman was at 735.50 and today is down to 733.93. Maybe they are waiting for Truman to drop much lower before letting much water out from Stockton. I did see a report from 2018 where the Army Corps of Engineers did a risk assessment on Turman Dam and reported it as potentially unsafe. Glad I don't live downstream from Truman especially now with it at near records levels. I don't foresee Stockton releasing much water until Truman is much lower.
