Yep, lots of inflow and they shut down the spillway almost all day yesterday...I get 97.5% full now by my math (3449078 current AF divided by 3537577 AF capacity).

Looks like they are planning on releasing 65000 CFS down the busted spillway today...that should be impressive! 65000 + 69533 river release might be a problem downstream also. Inflow is about 143000 CFS...they are not quite keeping up with it.

One of our family engineers with two engineering degrees said you don't need calculus, algebra, or a calculator to find out how much of a losing battle this is in our current 5 ish days of dry weather.

What will happen when the next storm hits. A storm that may be more powerful rainwise that any so far this rainy season with the lake overflowing.
