That sucks
they just opened the tube and started dumping water in last few hours, when i checked it was 6,893 cfs, thats a lot. it will empty like pulling the plug in a bathtub, BUT we are to get more rain so this may not change anything.
Still plenty of muddy water. A slow draw down was begun about 3 PM today.

draw down is over 7000 cfs now, would love to be down there up close to the tube and see and hear the water coming out, has to be crazy, lake is dropping but is still over 40'above winter pool.
That's crazy high but at least they're pulling some water.
EF is up 33' and they aren't pulling much. I imagine it they won't start pulling it until the weekend when the Ohio River finally drops below flood stage.
Even if they pull 2 or 3 feet per day it's going to be 2 or 3 weeks before they get back down to normal...that's depressing.

Thanks for the update!
Nice report and looks like you had a great day out on the lake.
I'm hoping to make it up that way next week one day.
Caught a few more at PC this morning. Water temp was 68 degrees. Caught 53 & kept 18 to eat.
