What's going on, on Barkley and Ky lake?
I know they are trying to combat flooding, but they are still pulling so hard???? Is the lakes region still getting pounded with rain? Can't help but watch the levels all day. Love our yearly trip!!! My dad and I were coming down Sat May 6th-13th for our yearly vacation to flip bushes and drag flowers. BUT that's high and dry! The rain they expected doesn't seem to have come? And now no water in the lake. I don't want 13' up in trees, but DEFINITELY don't want Winter pool!!!!!
Is it raining? Is it coming back up?
PRAYING FOR 360!
HELP! Thoughts?
God Bless.

I could be wrong but I heard that downstream both Pickwick and Nickajack reservoirs flow into the Tennessee river which then flows and makes up Kentucky Lake. They are trying to dump a lot of water because they are expecting both Pickwick and Nickajack to flow into it and fill it right back up. As of now Pickwick is spilling until further notice as they are trying to get it back down to summer pool and they are dropping it quick. Nickajack is also spilling intermittently until further notice. This means that all of the water from both of those reservoirs will be flowing into Kentucky lake which is why they are dropping it at an alarming rate.
