Thread: Pullin the plug!

The corps is lettin out 2 1/2 feet of water from now til wednesday. It's gettin bad...luckily I live on a hill!Going from 358.6 to 356.06.

Better to bet above the dam right now instead of below..They are calling for record highs downstream.
Looks like we got more coming.

Yup.

They are letting out all that they can to keep a repeat of the Nashville flood from happening. I suspect the lake is going to get very big in the very near future.

I got 2 & 1/2 more weeks of fight'n this crap! Every river system we have around here has extra water in it. It's just a matter of time before something bad happens out here. One wrong move right now & you're in a corn field or parking lot. I'm gonna be ready for a break by the time I get off this darn Towboat! I am stressed out!!!

They'll start holding water in the lakes in a few days. It's gonna get BAD!!!

Up here in Cincy our flood stage is 52ft and its getting to 56 plus and its all heading your way. We were there last week and the weather and fishing stunk big time but we still had a good time. Be safe!

I heard from Dave Stewart, a guide on the lakes, that he had heard they plan to pretty well put the stopper in Friday.

We may break the record this year!
-One for the History Books - May 5th, 2010, Kentucky Lake is officially CLOSED to recreational traffic for the first time in history by U.S. Coast Guard due to extreme flooding and rainfall in the lakes area (Lake Barkley and Land Between the Lakes closed as well). The water levels rose 4ft in only 24hrs. Kentucky Lake peaked at 369.03' on Friday, May 7th at 2:00 p.m. The flooding missed the high-water mark set in May 1984 of 369.99'. The lakes held steady at 369'. It took just a week for the lakes to drop nine feet back down to near normal levels.
