outflows still way above inflows

even with 11 inches of rain the next 72 hours(new ETA just in) as long as they can keep the main spillway operational they should be in good shape

Outflows may exceed inflows for a while and the lake will rise..but they have a 45 foot buffer.

What got them in trouble last time was when they increased the outflows to 70K..the main spillway got damaged and they turned it off in the pouring rain and the lake rose FAST

Why haven't we seen a substantial increase in the inflow?
