Took A Ride over to Beaver

[Bill Babler]

Becky wanted to see the dam release so over we went. My gosh that is one beautiful unspoiled lake. 

Lots of really fun information on the pond at the overlook

We had a great time just being out today.

We have a year of new home building, but we’re going to go slow and do some things we want.

Take tons of photos during the build. Where the wiring and pipes are installed may be a bit different than the blueprints.

When dams give full throat roars they are awesome.

That's only <9,000 cfs... that's a little more than one unit at TR.  Pretty impressive flow.  That's the amount of water running into the lake because it's not dropping at all.  In contrast, seeing what they're running at TR - again, that's what's coming into TR because it's not dropping either.

Minor flooding going on down river, don't see how they are going to be able to release significant water from Bull until the lower river goes down.  

IMPACTS...At 26.0 feet, Many thousands of acres of cropland are
inundated. Water is near State Highway 14. Many private levees are
overtopped allowing the river to flood cropland. Water in portions
of Jacksonport State Park that are on river side of levee.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

- At 8:00 PM CDT Sunday the stage was 26.6 feet.

- Forecast...The river is cresting and will fall below flood
stage before dawn on Monday, May 9. It will continue falling
to around 15.4 feet by Wednesday, May 18.
