Is 1075 bad? Why would they shut it down?

Yea, the lake is a man made reservoir. Ive been here 20 plus years and never remember seeing it more than 2 feet above full pool. Its 4 feet now. At 5 foot, its very dangerous.

The lake is a train wreck right now. I won't be going out for a few days anyway.. We also have a very small spillway which can not release a lot of water at once.

That plus the fact that there are 8 lakes below us that are all full makes it tough to get the level down quickly
