Had it reached 760, is that just an uncontrolled release over the top of the gates?

Wolf Creek Dam.
60,000 cubic feet per sec of water being released. They're hauling Rock and boulders the water is up so high that it's washing the bank out where the electric Transformers are
confirmed bringing in truck after truck of gravel and boulders building a wall

2) Cumberland lake looks to make it to 756 at least now....it is clear this evening there are worried about hillside erosion under/near the transmission towers..at outflow 58,000..any increase in outflow would increase that erosion..if that tower tips they might loose the power plant controls and./or the spillway gate controls...??? not sure about that though...went back and looked at the video...if appears they are trying to fill in the eroded area with gravel
The had similar issues at oroville on the main spillway ...they were worried about back erosion cutting way at a vital transmission tower so they had to decrease outflow on the damaged main spillway..from 65,000 to 50,000 bfs and in the meantime the lake overflowed and went over the emergency spillway witch started back cutting that away....and almost eroded out the side of the Dam...in that case, since they had no choice, they increased flow to 100,000 on the main spillway to get the level level lower ASAP....the tower ended up being fine in hindsight
Makes sense now why people were saying on Facebook they have closed off all the area below the dam near the power plant.

756.07 this morning. The graph is making a gradual turn to the right. Outflow is back up to 58k but inflow is still double that.

575.15 at 2000z
54710cfs out
144084cfs in
They've brought the outflow down some as well. Might just be trying to stabilize it.

Overall, it was the 64th highest recording. SE TN mountains were spared the worst part.
How did the fire areas hold up? Any big mudslides or has it regrown enough in the last year?

190,000 cfs inflow !!. where did you get this info.?...been looking for it online
the outflow of 60,000 is exepcted later today...they are lucky they didn't get trained like Knoxville yesterday morning...
like I said the other day they should have increased outflows earlier (25 to 35K-40) two days ago...If they would have done that ..60K wouldn't be needed perhaps
thanks
