Thursday, June 30, 2011 :: Just Add Water

"Before" and "During" shots...I wonder what the "after" shots will look like.

This first set is from the intersection of Hwy 118 and 111, looking south towards Big Lake.

It doesn't hardly look like the same area, but it is. It's taken on a slightly different angle, but from the road signs you can see it is the same place.

This next set is super wide (click on photo for larger view)--I took photos in a series and then stitched them together in Photoshop. It's not perfect, but you get the idea....  And this is from the top of the Little Tarkio Creek Levee on Hwy 118, looking west. The first one was taken June 19, the second today, June 30.

And then a quote from the ACE's video on Gavin's Point Dam, "Much higher water can be released from Gavin's point dam, especially the spillway. Gavin's Point Dam, including the spillway, can release a flow of 584,000 cubic feet per second in the event of an extreme flood event." (emphasis mine)

And what, exactly, would he call this?

Click here to watch the video on Gavin's Point Dam, made by the ACE. I'm getting tired of watching videos where the ACE's act like it's just water. No big deal, just water.
