Ok guys...I know we (by we I mean me :) ) have spent most of the recent years concerned about not enough water but this weekend looks interesting. We are very near full pool and the forecast is calling for up to five inches of rain in already saturated areas including our watershed. It has been forever since we had a rain event like this when we were not in already dry conditions.

Oldtimers, my lake history is only about 25 years old (the parts I can remeber well) what should we expect?? Will water run "over the dam"?? I realize the flood gates will be used...could the lake really flood?? Has it ever happened?? I am heading down to watch...i think what we have is a more normal weather pattern that "feels" very wet so help jar my memory...thanks!
