I couldn't seem to find that all important normal pool # to know how high it was???? As for Nimrod and Blue Mtn I couldn't see where either were falling myself on the corps site. Both showed to be 10' or more high so if you figure a fall rate of 2' per day which is sucking the bottom out of it, full tube coming out, and no more rain, then add on the days it will take to stabilize it may be a week and half before it gets right at least! By then this warm snap will be long gone I'd imagine and colder weather would return. I don't understand why they leave these lakes so high after rains for so long? After a couple days I expect to see the gates open and start pulling her down some??
They have little choice, if the Arkansas is up,,and it is, if they release too much, it can't get into the arkansas, so it floods all the low land between the dam and the arkansas..
