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'

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.
