I'll be happy as a clam with higher water levels this Spring, but THEY won't....and that drama could have/should have been forecasted. Guess we'll just wait and see.
MOPanfisher Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Well put in your foreast on the weather (in weekly increments from Feb through May) and we will see how many you get right. Unless there are some really crazy conditions, the level on LOZ doesn't affect whether or not Truman releases water. LOZ has the option of holding it, generating with it, or dumping it.

LOZ has the option of holding it, generating with it, or dumping it. You've gotta be kidding. The whole reason that Truman got stupid last year was 100% because of Lake O....... And Lake O couldn't open flood gates, or even generate heavily to allow room for Truman to let any water go because of the Missouri River level at St. Thomas. That is a quote straight from the ACOE briefing last year in Warsaw when everyone was loosing their minds. So conditions don't have to be very "crazy" to effect things. I'll refrain from making any weekly forecasts, but I can tell you for certain that whatever falls along the Osage basin between now and mid-May is going to have to be held, for the most part, behind Truman dam. And that could very easily be a significant amount of water. The probability is high, and they don't seem to be prepared for it at all.
MOPanfisher Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 You are 100% correct, well except for the fact that St Thomas is on the Osage and th control point on the Missouri is at Herman I believe. Also the fact that those are the only 2 control points that matter, not LOZ. Otherwise you are spot on. I am done.

That is the line of BS that is fed to the businesses on Truman when they get all up in arms because they feel sacrificed for the benefit of L.O. Anybody that lives here knows better. We absolutely know we are the favorite child. The parents just don't want to openly say it and hurt the feelings of our siblings. But consistently denying reality is nothing but a head game. L.O. is 100% your 3rd control point. Probably should rate #1 actually. I fear that you've been programmed how to think. You shouldn't let them do that to you. Peace, bro. MOPanfisher 1
straw hat Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 305 Straw Hat Report post Posted December 5, 2019 I am just curious on everyone's thoughts on the lake level. Usually by November the Corp has started to draw down the lake in preparation for the spring rains, Certainly by this date the lake is at least a foot or so below normal. This year they are letting the lake level actually rise. This makes me concerned about what kind of high water we will have next spring. Last year was bad enough. Any thoughts? Boy I don't know who this guy is but he sure is a genius!! lol I agree with what you all are saying. It will be another year of ramp closures and flood water. Yeah!!! NOT!!!
straw hat Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Well obviously I am computer illiterate. lol I couldn't get the post to print the name right across the top so I was going to cancel the post and re-enter it and it wouldn't delete the post. I just hope everyone can read from the top down like the Chinese do. lol
luckycraft Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 All I know is duck hunting sucks! Weather too warm.... river way too high. Seems like they should be dumping water all winter.
