A lot of folks don't think it's going to crest the spillway, if I were a betting man I'd say it will. Just watershed w/o extra rain is .75-1.5' a day - some days it's coming up 2' in one day. I think it's at 7' before it crests now.
I'd agree with you both. If we get much rain at all I don't see how it won't put us over. The Island at Highport Marina had the doors open and water running through it 2-3 feet deep Thursday, and Pelican's is clearing out today.
I've seen some big stuff on my end of the lake already, 10-12 inches in diameter and 15+ feet long. I'm on the West end off of 377, no telling what all has come in from the river.

It's truly sad, I was looking forward to a summer of boating. I'm hoping for end of July \ early August to have the levels down enough for the ramps to be usable.
This is the normal view from the entrance at Pelicans Landing. It's still a little low but the shore line would be pretty close to this.
Thursday the water was a couple feet deep at the deck supports
Saturday evening it appears to be built on the water
I have to laugh at the folks that complained lakes were too low, prayed for rain, and are now complaining they are too high. I don't see a lot of it here, but in my daily dealings with people. I want MOAR RAIN!!!
I get a little chuckle every now and again at the family I bought my skis from, they were selling everything, boats, skis, house, everything they had on cedar creek since it didnt have water on it last year.
