Now if you have never felt an earthquake in your life. Be near here when they open these gates.


i think you are overestimating personally

First hand account from relatives who worked there for COE in 1973 when they opened the first gate.
I witnessed it personally days later.

i have a feeling thats why they have begun to open them, its probably going to take a while to open them if they do plan to open 100

I do not think they have opened any now that the forebay is filling. They only opened 20 something in 73.

Too early to tell. More water can't be a good thing.

what can i say.....

this thread is a superb public service and the way things are going very well may be the longest thread in the history of td.....

38' in BR as of 8 pm

Son and several of his buddies just got home after spending the evening bow fishing along the Morganza potato levee. They were in boats on the river side of the levee. He said the river side is still ~2 ft higher than the forebay and the current over the levee is strong. He watched one section of the potato levee collapse and wash out while he was there. By tomorrow, the forebay should be level with the river.

Two more weeks until the crest. Not good.
