One Rough River official was quoted at saying the lake has the potential to completely fill to capacity and run over the TOP of the dam, according to him this has never even been considered before.

Boys it will be weeks before we really understand how Epic this weather system really has been..............

I'm headed down there to take some pics and do some video of it. I just talk to rob he was going to fish the spill way and they came down there and run him out , There going to open it up he said.. He also said the lake was close down.
Checking the chart it has over 40,000 CFS of water fowing into the lake right now and we are suposed to get 2 or more inches of rain today. This is bad and should put it well above the red line not that it is not right now.

If it is up to the road at the dam then that is one heck of a lot of water!
