Be advised that Duke Energy can be indiscriminate with whatever buttons they push to spill more water. 11/7/15: it was 750 when I left the house this morning, then up to 950 when we got to the take out and probably around 1200 by the time we got to Nowhere. Thankfully, we were off the water just before they pushed it to 1500. During all of this, the power plant was completely shut down and the inflow to the reservoir was steady @ 850. There was some light rain in the area (0.2' in 12 hrs) but every upstream gauge barely budged. Why spill almost twice the inflow? Give yourself time to scout and portage in case the flow spikes on you and maybe think twice about putting on if you're short on daylight.
