Just noticed on the Alabama Power site the forcasted crest is 519 ft which as most know is 9 feet above the summer pool level. Earlier today it was forecasted at 518 ft. My guess it will go higher than 519 ft. This could cause damage to some boat docks/houses on the lake. In the past when the water level rose above 515 ft Alabama Power would run one or both turbines to pull the water back down to a reasonable level. Why are they not doing this now?
