544% normal rainfall in the TN valley

Not sure what timeframe he's using, but most of the Tennessee River Valley is 200%+ normal rainfall amounts in the last 30 days. If you shorten it to 14 days, many areas are over 400% of normal rainfall.
I'm sure you can find a timeframe recently where rainfall is north of 500%. It probably will be after this week's rain.

If ACoE is extremely resistant as in years past this would give credence to the fact the believe the entire structure will fail if opened. Huge black eye the ACoE will avoid and deflect on at all costs.
They don't open/close it on a whim. The requirements to open it are pretty cut and dry.
That being said, we're basically right back where we were a year ago today. The river @ Baton Rouge is about 1.2 feet higher today than it was on 2/12/19. Looks like it may be another interesting spring.

Timeframe is last 7 days.
7 days can be pretty misleading, fwiw. One bad rain episode will skew it quite a bit.
