It's hard for me to believe but Murray has actually risen by 2-3 inches since 8 this morning according to my scientific stump located beside my dock. I didn't think there was enough rain upstream to raise the water level when they have all of the gates open. This was at 4:30 p.m.

They never did open all the gates. The gates they did open flooded a lot of homes and there was a lot of grief sent out about deliberately flooding them. (Guess they didn't care about the ones upstream). To open all the gates would be devastation down river.

Brush Pile your kidding?! I'm just wondering why they didn't let the lake down before this storm came through?

I know now this is above my pay grade, but I believe it would have made things a lot worse. No one below lake Murray could have stood any more water. Take columbia for example. That place is still in chaos.

im sorry to hear about all the problems this storm has caused I am in no way trying to offend any one but I have to give duke power an amen for the way they operated lake Wateree. I have had a place on Wateree sense 1985 and this is the first time it has not flooded with that much rain sense I,ve been there. again my prayers go out to everybody this storm has effected

Murray was actually down 2-3 feet before the storm. Last week I walked out into the water on our ramp just checking to see if it was deep enough to launch. They opened the gates and the Coldstream development started to flood so they had to back off. I looked this morning, the lake has dropped about 5-6 inches from the high water mark that I made on Monday. Folks in the low country catching it now. I saw on the news last night that parts of Conway are flooding. There was just too much water to regulate.Brush Pile your kidding?!

Yea I've got a good friend that lives in Kingstree and it's not good around there. I'm going to give him a call this weekend and see how they are holding up.
