Lake Level
 

TVA and Corp predicting lake level to go to 371', 12' over summer pool, a record. No boating any time soon.

it will drop fast.. it made it to 369 last year and was back to normal in a week.. lets hope for the best!

Yeah. Hope it doesn't do too much damage to anyone. How's Paducah holding up?

If it hits 371 it will be a new record, the thing about last year they were able to spill to the river but this year there going to have to hold it! Lets hope it falls quick!

good point... im hearing 373 now???

I thought 372 was limit lake could go to- at that level started flowing over the lowest point of one of the dam's. Not sure if KY Dam or Barkley that limits that.

I heard 375' would put water over the top of KY Dam. It set a record yesterday with 370' :mad:

How bad did it get

Its at 373 and going 373.3 tomorrow, but the most water the dam can hold back is 375.

Yep, 375 is over the top. It's about to be a big mess... Up there, and on the river. They're saying now that once everything crest's, it'll stay there for a week. I doubt any of this water is going anywhere fast, but lets hope it does. My campsite is destroyed. Luckily I've got some good landlords and the camper was moved long before the flood hit. The work around the site isn't so good though.

Hope everyone else is doing good.

From Moor's facebook page:

Latest forecast from TVA:
372.3' Tonight
371.4' Friday
370.2' Saturday
369.2' Sunday
...368.1' Monday
367.0' Tuesday


Hopefully it will fall fast!

Will the lake levels have any impact on the KY Lake Poker Run in a month? Will it be back to normal level by then?

Guys can you explain a little more what those height levels mean. When you say 375' is max at Ky Damn, does that mean close to old road surface? Can't be that high. How are marina's? KY Damn, GTB, Buzzard, etc?

The lake levels should be back to normal in about 8 days. The water should clear up shortly after.

Went out yesterday to do some prop testing. The water was great. Very little drift wood.

Good to hear. We are coming down next weekend and I was hoping to burn some gas if the drift wood wasn't bad.

We will be out im sure if its nice. Hope to see ya.

Yep... same here. We'll actually be at the lake for the next 3 weekends after this weekend. My Hammer is named Higher Maintenance. Stop me if you see me.

very good news

Sounds great. I will be looking for you. This is my boat, if you see me, give me a shout.

Which lake, Ky or Barkley. I think we may come down for the holiday. The ohio river here is still pretty high and full of trash.

Can we find the person that is doing the rain dance and dock tape them to a tree:hothead::hothead::hothead: I mean can we get a break here !!!!

I ran both lakes. From Barkley Dam to rock quarry then back to buzzard rock. Ky Lake was great. Didn't see one piece of drift. Barkley had a couple of logs but that was outside the channel. Channel was great. Both lakes will be alright to run. This weather is definitely a kick in the face.

Only a 50% chance of scattered storms... that means we have a 50% chance of a nice weekend! :drink:
