“I was OnLocation for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Post Falls Dam this week,” posts Councilwoman KerriT/OnLocation North Idaho. “If you want proof that spring is on the way, eight of nine gates are wide open, flowing 10,000 cubic feet per second. This is a bird’s eye view from above the falls on the spillway catwalk as the Spokane River begins its travels over the dam.”

Glad to see them open the dam up and hope they keep it open. Last year, they were somewhat negligent, imo, in not taking the lake down further to accomodate the late runoff last year. Last year, it was still snowing in April and, hence, no melt to speak of. The heat in May, with 200% snowpack, and you get a flood. They must have not got the email that it could be a big flood year. It was.
