According to the local paper, the lake will hit 471 on Friday but they (APCO) will return it to normal winter levels by next week.

Im sure by sunday it will be at least down to full pool, last time this happened seems like it was back to full with a day or two andd back to nothing in 4-5 days.
Are there any historians on here to relate what the deepest any flood has been on the lake? I have only been here 6 years and I know last time it went deep (2009) it was within a couple of feet of where I was told the 50yr flood line was.
Just curious.

I've seen the lake go 473 (8 feet over summer pool) twice. Once in the early 80's, 2nd time in March of '03. The lake flooded twice in 2 weeks in '03, the first time the lake went to 473, a week later, it went to 471.
Alot of debris gets washed up on the shore. There are boats already trapped under the docks because the owners did not get their boats out in time. Water is already over alot of the walkways going to the docks.
The good news is Alabama Power is saying the water will crest at 470 (only 5 feet over pool) now instead of 471.
If anyone needs help, Call David at 205-296-8340. I live on the lake and am willing to help all that need it. We all have to help our neighbors in time of need.
On the lighter side, the first time I saw the lake flood, we were in B'ham and just happened to go to the lake. Got there at dark and had no idea the lake had flooded. I got pissed because I thought someone had stolen the dock and barbque pit. It was already under water. The bass boat was in the basement altready floating off the trailer. I went out checking things, big mistake because now I couldn't see the docks under water and all the trash in the lake, I'll never do that again.
In the flood of '03, I saw everything from capsized pontoons, trees, refrigerators, picnic tables, etc. floating to to dam. Word of caution boating in flood waters, YOU CANNOT SEE SUBMERGED LOGS and can lose the prop or worst, take out the lower drive, stranding you where you are. Please be careful!

Thanks for the info Bama.... With us only being here 6 years the 09 flood was the first one we had seen.
I imagine the first flood you saw information and notifications were not as abundant as today with the internet.
While I will not be able to get up today I will be there all day tomorrow if anyone needs anything tomorrow.
