We are at Table Rock lake this weekend in south Missouri. I found where the rain has been going. In all of our trips here this is the highest I have seen it. Have to wade knee deep to get to our slip. Launching and retrieving the boat from the parking lot.
Couple of updates. I've only been able to get one good water loss reading from May 27th 4:30pm to yesterday 3:15 pm. So close enough to call it 6 full days. Over those 6 days I lost exactly a 1/2". Assuming some loss into soil absorption since we had just gained 9" of water at the reading on the 27th and some loss to evaporation I think that looks promising at 0.083" of loss per day.
The really heavy runoff rain continues to miss us but we did get another 1.5" from yesterday evening through this evening. The yardstick is gone and had 9" remaining above water before this rain. Will have to get another yardstick in. Water has pushed up to the 1st stump now and into the banks on 3 sides. Also starting to get rutting from the rain in a few spots close to my bentonite layer. I will probably drag what I can with the tractor rake to fill those in and re-pack so I don't wash out the bentonite.

Thanks for the update. We've been getting rain every couple of days here and it seems to be scheduled to happen again next week. Hopefully it will happen there before summer kicks in and dries everything out.
