    I know that on Saylorville they have an inflatable barrier that they can deploy (that’d be fun to watch) to raise the spillway height another 4 feet, but who knows if that’ll be enough to hold it back. You’re basically getting everything we had yesterday.

    Hold on tight and here’s hoping you live in a high part of town!
