They are flowing 50,000 CFS at Old Hickory and 33,000 CFS out of Cordell Hull. Safe to say the river is blown out for the time being. Channel buoys in Old Hickory are pulled half way under from the flow in the main river channel.
By the way on Old Hickory Lake Anglers Facebook page someone posted a picture of a dead cow on the rocks below the dam. Victim of some serious high flow rates undoubtedly.
In NOLA, they opened the spillway to Lake Pontchartrain yesterday; first time in 38 years from what I understand..NOLA is 5 foot from levee breach...the Mississippi River is viscous right now. We have been watching tugs struggle to make the crescent turn...unbelievable.
OH dam
