Pullin the Plug again

looks like it might not be as bad as they thought. Wonder how long it will take the USCG to shut the lakes down like last year:confused:

6:00 p.m. Saturday Update: Another day, another change in Kentucky Lake's crest. Yesterday TVA was reporting a crest of 374' by Thursday. Today, several of the gates at Kentucky Dam were opened to reportedly help alleviate flooding on Lake Barkley at Dover. Since the gates have been opened, the crest has been lowered to just below 371', according to the TVA and the Corps. However, a statement from the National Weather Service issued just after 2pm today says the lakes will crest between 371' and 372' by Tuesday. It appears that we will be between 370' and 372' for several days. Of course, all this could change, especially considering our area is forecast to receive another three to five inches of rain.

Kentucky Lake's record elevation of 369.99' set back in 1984 was broken today when the lake reached 370.00' at 1:00 p.m.
