If you've been watching the News for South Central USA, Missouri and Arkansas you know that we've been getting hit by torrential rains/winds/hail since April 21 over the entire Southern Missouri/North Arkansas area. The 19 counties, 14,000 sq mi (36,260 sq Km) make up the drainage basin for 4 rivers of which the White River is the main channel. The Army Corps of Engineers has built 3 major dams on the White forming 4 reservoir lakes. Beaver, Table Rock, Tanneycomo and our Arkansas Lake, Bull Shoals. Bull Shoals is the bottom lake in the chain so any rain the falls in the 19 counties ends up here. Bull Shoals is the largest of the 4 lakes, 80mi (130km) long covering 70,000 acres (284 sq Km) with 1,000mi (1600 Km) of shoreline at full pool.
From Apr 21 to the 30th we've had over 11in (28cm) of rain here and about 15in (38cm) in Southern Missouri. Winds during the storms have topped 50mph (81Kph). The flooding is beyond description. Large sections of Interstate 44 were closed where the Interstate crossed rivers. The flood waters rose over the bridges and WASHED the asphalt off the road bed! Hundreds of secondary roads are impassable or destroyed and whole towns are isolated and/or flooded
The dams on Beaver and Table Rock are near their tops and the Corps has opened the flood gates releasing a total of 91319 cu ft of water PER SECOND (2586 cu m)(683114 gal per sec) near 3000 US tons PER SECOND all of which comes here. Bull Shoals lake has been rising 2in (5cm) per hour. The top of Bull Shoals dam is at 695 MSL and we're at 684 so far today and heavy storms are predicted for the next two days. Fortunately for me, the house is on a ridge 820 MSL well out of reach of any flood waters BUT our boat dock is on the lake and we've been moving it up the bank 3X a day which is a major chore. Dock and Corps Permit are worth $60000 to $70000 USD so a major investment
Hail and rain 5/29 back deck and front porch
Bull Shoals Dam flood gates open just a bit, 4000 cu ft per second
My dock on the far left. Wheels allow walkway to roll onto and up the bank. Trees are about 692 MSL
If you noticed in the distance a dock is floating free down the cove due to broken anchor cables
