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.

I think they are getting ready to open the gates...

Better a controlled release than an uncontrolled one. I checked the Millwood pool data a little while ago. Plenty of storage left down there.

Sorry for all the flooding in the eastern part of the state. Here in the S.W. Altus/Lugert up from 9% to over 50% and rising; Tom Steed from 19% to over 75%, all other lakes are full or filling, farm ponds all full many were dug deeper during drought. 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.

That is good to hear. All month I kept wondering what this rain was doing for the SW waters.
