Flood fears rise as Grand Lake dam may release water
U S District Corps of Army Engineers warns additional rains in the next day or two could force water release from Pensacola Dam to prevent higher floods along the Grand River. Grand Lake reached a historic high with floodwaters pouring in from the Spring and Elk rivers. Fort Gibson Reservoir is expected to rise to a record 574 feet, about 20 feet above normal, by Saturday. Gates may stay closed to avoid worsening Arkansas River flooding while authorities monitor the crisis. The eastern Oklahoma region, a popular resort area, draws visitors from Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas.
