The river only has a narrow outlet and can't take the amount of water that's being sent our way without swelling over the edges.
The water was starting to recede slowly before the rain came this weekend. So far it's hasn't risen any further - we'll see if they open the gates wide again tomorrow!
We moved to Silver Lake in 1999 but neighbors say our area was cut off and formed an island in the big flood and they had to canoe down the road! I guess everyone got hit bad in that one.

The charts are showing that the water level is going down, is the flooding getting any better downstream?
How bad was the flooding of Silver Lake in 1984 & 1998?
At what point above full reservoir would a no wake zone be called?
Can someone please shut off the rain?  Rain, rain, stay away... |
