8th Hole At Echelon (Tech Club)

I cannot see the pic, as I am at work, but did you really mean 18 feet? Or was that a typo.

They had 18" of rain and it equated to up 18 feet. The one lake was almost empty looking but the main lake looked full to me. It's up 18 feet.

I really can't imagine playing on Grant Field this weekend; it's sitting on top of an old creek/sewer line that must be bursting.
 
The only things that keeps lakes from going berserk during floods are their own size (bigger=harder to fill), and the height of the dam. The more shocking numbers are the rivers, where there's nothing holding the water back except the water in front of it. The Yellow River in Rockdale county near my grandparents' house was about 25' above normal at its peak.

Imagine the lake at the golf club, 7 feet higher, and flowing past you at 2-5 feet per second.

My grandparents live on a lake whose dam crest is about 20 feet above the Yellow River, and its spillway empties into the river. On Monday, the river was actually flowing over the dam into the lake.
