Looks like the gates on Steele Bayou were finally opened this am and it is finally fallling.

It's not the local rain that makes the river levels jump for any length of time. It's what is going on to the north that affects us down here. For example snow melt or major flooding up north makes or breaks our levels.

I'm aware of that. I was saying that both now and in 2011 there was basically no additional local rain that would have filled the bowl in even more.
