We got a reprieve from rain on new years day, but we're right back in it again today.

Called Toledo Bend Joint Operations earlier to today to find out what they were doing up river. As of 2pm, the lake has reached 173, that's a foot over full pool. They've now opened all 11 gates to 3 feet and both generators are going full bore 24/7. Up river, Deweyville is starting to flood and the river is 26 ft and rising as the water in Deweyville hasn't reached us yet.

Sure do wish they'd get their proverbial heads out of you know where and re-think their "Federal Mandate" on how to regulate water control for the lake. Letting it get completely full and overflowing before you start letting it go just doesn't make sense to everyone downstream of the dam.
