googled, snow vs inches of rain, said 10 inches snow equals 1 inch of rain, seems like the lakes are sure rising at a faster rate than that??---they are not releasing much water either---wonder why the slow release, back during the flood coe kept saying newport, this and newport that, seems like the benchmark for whether to run or not is newport.-----unless branson is threatened, then i heard they will sacrifice newport if branson is in danger.--but anything along the white or norfork is just collateral damage-----but, ill have to say, since they, did, open some flood gates this year to control the lake levels, hopefully they have discovered those flood gates can be used minimallly to reduce the risk of future floods on our rivers---did i just imply the coe used some intelligence to come to an educated conclusion---naaaaaaha--
