Thanks- No need for a pic. I remember last time it flooded the docks and swamped some boats. Hugo pics would be interesting.
The Corps seems to be pretty nervous about Pine Creek. 24 hour surveillance even though its not close to overflowing. Guess they didn't get the scour hole filled in yet.
Just watched state park employees filling sand bags at Hochatown.Quote:

Better a controlled release than an uncontrolled one. I checked the Millwood pool data a little while ago. Plenty of storage left down there.
What is Millwood? ? Level and top of spillway thereQuote:

I am looking to improved fishing in the future. Thank you Lord for answering all the prayers for rain. Some people suffered because of the drought some will suffer because of the flooding. It's called life deal with it enjoy the good times endure the bad and be the best person you can be through it all. I am looking forward to more good times.
Excellent post ............. I'm soooo glad the lakes in SW Oklahoma are filling ................ happy for you man !!Quote:

Texhoma. . Check flow rates...
WOW
Let's pray that there is not too much downstream damage.
Okay water weights 62.42796 pounds per cubic foot.
There is about 340,000 cubic feet coming into Texhoma. ..
If said water is traveling at 5 mph how much energy is that in foot pounds and kw? ?
Okay you "Sheldon's" step up to the plate. ..
Is that the Dam?Quote:

Water is now over twin bridges at lake thunderbird
Which now means zero control over water releases. If we had not had low lake levels before this spring deluge we would have gotten to this point a week or two ago on many of our watersheds. In essence it would have been as if there was no flood control dams at all for the most recent rains. We need to pray that this is over with soon, because if it is not, for all practical purposes it will be back to the days when we had no dams. Father we thank You for the rain, we needed it. We ask now in the Name of Jesus that it ceases for a time so this situation gets no worse. We thank You for hearing us and granting our request, In Jesus' Name, amen.Quote:

Does T-Bird have a spillway ?
Just being a Kansas guy but I did not think the Corp had control of Grand lake isn't control by the Grand lake authority or something like that
The GRDA controls Grand and Hudson.Quote:

My understanding is both lakes are Corp lakes, but GRDA has complete control within certain guidelines. Those guidelines are primarily based on Fort Gibsons and the rivers below status.Quote:

Video of Twin Lakes dam at the link, this is a helluva a rain event. Wes Watkins is 8 foot over normal elevation , I can't imagine what's happening there with water goin over the spillway. I bet the road below the dam is closed.

Wow when is the last time there has been that much water in twin lakes?
All 11 gates at Eufaula are now open 12.5'. I guess they had no choice at this point.
They go as high as 18 feet at eufaula. . . Don't be surprised if you don't see that in the next few days
Any video of Eufala with the gates open this wide? Bet the noise is deafening.
KWTV weather person Lacey Swope has Texoma video on her FB page
