Not good , because hurricane season hasn't even begun yet.

God Bless all of you impacted ❤❤

This breaks my heart for these folks. God bless and protect them all.

Just because you damned the river doesn't mean you don't live in a flood zone.
-
Just remember the Supreme Court says you can sue the state for damages.

Its like Christchurch NZ, whole place is built in a flood plain, after big quake the friwn turned to jelly. Still, they rebuild and take the risk. Bizarre
-
Friends don't let friends live in flood plains.

I live in Polk county....the most affected people....are the ones with close to nothing 😔
-
How about instead of thinking of a lawsuit , you don’t purchase a home in a flood plain. I feel so sorry for these people but it makes me angry when people talk about lawsuits for everything.

Whoa… wait wait wait wait… I don’t understand. Do the ones operating the dam…. Are they aware there’s homes down in the valley?? I mean…. Why… Who? What the hell?? Are they building homes in the path of the running water?? I’m so confused rn

Who would even live there after so many floods? Move!
-
God protect them! And the cemeteries. 😢

If You want to Manage Flooding or Flash Flooding Well, You have to have Sizable Drain Valves on Dams, Weirs, Barrages Etc. Then You Need Quality Weather Forecasting or Weather/Rainfall Monitoring. Once You Know Major Rain is Occurring in the Dam Catchment Area You Must Open the Drain Valves Before the Dam is Full. Once the Extent of the Rain is Known You Close the Drain Valves and Allow the Dam to Fill. This is a Pre Flood Discharge System and Will Limit Flooding Better than Discharging when the Dam is Full.

This is why I sold my lake front property just outside of Riverside, I had to deal with this about 4 times a year, I got tired of doing nothing but cleaning up trash every time it flooded. My property was above the dam and we flooded way more than those below the dam. When you live on a water way you have to expect flooding.

Why not just put the home on floats so they float up? 🤔

trinity river floods all the time ..my cousins bought land [long ago ] a mile from the river and on hill and they got flooded out [long ago ] back in the 70s

Alligator behind you

The amount of water released depends politically on who the engineers decide should flood or not.
-
I’m praying the dam holds ❤

"powerlines skim the water surface" that's a communications line power is on the top.....
