I won't launch without 2 generators going. When and if they switch to one you can watch the water levels go down over time. My boat is a bit bigger so not sure about how hard/easy it would be for you to motor back up. I would guess it will be a difficult task because with a couple generators going it is moving pretty good. Plenty of fishing to be had from the bank there at the ramp or in fish hatchery creek if you need a back up plan.
