Wolf Creek Dam ?????
I see on the TVA site it say's 80800 CFS at 12 noon? I also have a report that the water is 7 to 10 ft. over the top of the ramp in Burkesville.
Was that a misprint?

TVA site has hourly output at 80800. USACE stats indicate 23,800. Which is correct?

23800 cfs + sluice gates open.All creeks are full ,putting more water into river.Crocus is at top of bank-holding now!Some of people who have cabins
on river bank are getting nervous.Built during low water drought years.It's normal high water again.Wait till water really comes up.Most that
haven't lived here since the early 70's haven't seen big water yet!Some are gonna be surpised when water comes a knockin at their cabin doors!

It rained ALL day today. I expect the lake will jump another 10 feet or so in the next few days. You can bet the Corp will be pushing all the water
through the dam that the river can possibly handle.

Has anyone talked to the COE about whether there are any concerns on the water level? With all that equipment, and all those 50" holes they are
drilling into the dam, wonder if they are holding their breath about 701.5'??

I've been wondering the same thing.
They either have forgotten, had nothing to say, wanted to skip a month or they are goofing off over there.
Not really. They may still publish it in the next few days.

I heard a rumor that they have stopped work and that there is a possibility of going to 673' . Anybody else hear something like this?

On a scale of 10, I would say it is .000000000001 they will go that low. Reason:
1. We have been assured the Dam has done nothing but gotten better since the repairs began.
ERROR: I'm sorry . . . . the Rehabilitation began
2. I don't think there is any more money left to extend the boat ramps further. I know of at least
a couple that are a little short as it is.

Thanks Squak. As I said, it was a rumor and I was wondering if there could be any basis to it. I wish that USACE would update a little more
frequently. I firmly believe that in the absence of information, the grapevine will fill the void.
