Can anybody confirm? Fox just showed some pics it's about two feet from coming over the top of the spillway?

I passed over it Sunday and it was about 5-7 feet from the top. I wouldn't doubt it is that far up now.

I was there yesterday, it isnt about to come over. Its about 3-4 feet from the top of the levee. There were reports that it was 5-7, but its less than that.
I am assuming that their definition of about to come over is inches and if so, that is not true.

Yeah, I'd say it's less than that. Like I said, it was about 7 or so whenever I passed Sunday.

Im telling you man, its very eerie. To just be able to look at it, it puts things into perspective.

When they open that structure the velocity on those first few gates is going to be unreal.

Yeah that is intense looking.

its not gonna settle for a long time either, opening even 50 gates is gonna seem to do nothing do the level on the high side

Just as the news man said I am curious what they were doing on the levee between the forebay and the river. Seems a little pointless to work on that one right now.

Yep. Im telling you, it will be a sight to see if that thing holds up once its opened.

i could see if they were opening the potato levee more or something like that to allow more flow into the forebay
other than that, idk
