  Martiniman the areas heavyest rainfall occurs in winter and sping not when the lake is at full pool. The weather systems in the winter and spring usually occur every three or four days not once or twice in 3-4 months.  The heavy rains you speak of are generated by tropical storms. 

  Think about it this way.  The power company starts filling the lake around the middle of Feb. and it is usually full or very close by mid april.

  my point is this lake fills in a short time when in the past the lake is at its lowest.  Add 3 feet of water at this time of year and you will have problems
