They’re down to 887.94 feet now, with a steady 100,000 cf/s outflow, and variable inflow from above. I would presume that the upstream dams and such need to try to make room for more water with the upcoming steady rain event too.
I wonder if it’s feasible to get the generation back on line. No hard information as to the condition of the incoming transmission lines. I had heard that they were cut (or cut off, which would electrically mean de-energized) and I understand that there are issues inside the plant regarding either debris or high water or something that is preventing things from operating.
But running a generator will flow water through the plant and produce useful electricity instead of just pouring it over the damaged spillway. Plus it could add to the 100,000 cf/s that is flowing now to speed up the emptying process.
