Until the work is completed on the damn the level will be where its at or lower. If a hurricane does come through they will just release it down stream.

The way I read it is that they don't even have final plans yet or a contractor.. This could be a while..

Glad to see them cut off water to Mexico.. Our only tool in the box..
