Siler, I think they are having trouble with the gauge. Waco has not come up any, is at a steady 530cfs.

Hope you're right Darrell, a 10K CFS release would be crazy.
Guess I didn't question it with this cold weather we've been having (electricity demand).

Combo generation/mudgate release.
Unfortunately, high, cold, muddy water can hurt the bite on that stretch.
Don't worry. It won't last.
Looks like they have already closed the lower mudgates and the river is still dropping.
They might be still generating or have stopped all together.
