LakeTexoma
Overflows Poses
Flood Threats
By UNITED PRESS
More rain is predicted today
for the watershed of Lake Tex-
oitia, which has l>een converted
from a flood control reservoir
to a flood threat. The 43-mile
long lake alone the Texas-Okla-
homa border is the biggest man-
made lake in the world. It is
intended to bottle up potential
flood waters until they can he
released harmslessly. But near-
ly two months of downpours
have sent the lake over the spill-
way at the rate of 18.000 cubic
feet per second. Another 53.000
cubic feet per second are gush-
ing through flood gates.
These combined discharges
are more than the channel of
the Red River can handle and
new floods are predicted on the
Red River in three states-Tex-
as. Arkansas and Louisiana. The
Colorado River also is expected
to flood lowlands near its mouth.
It is expected to crest at Whar-
ton today at around 26 feet.
Forecasters say the Colorado is
falling from Smithville to Colum-
bus.
But a sharp rise is expected
at Smit hville later today when
heavy upstream rains and flood
water discharge reach the area.
Bankful stage of 25 feet is ex-
pected at Smit hville. and low-
land flooding below the city is
expected for several days.
A flash flood on the Pease
River of North Central Texas is
expected to increase the dis-
charge from Lake Texoina. At
the same time, there have been
heavy rains along the Red River
in East Texas. Paris reports
more than four inches of rain
overnight. Arthur City. Texas,
on the upper Red River reports
more than three inches, while
Honey Grove has had three and
.35. The Red River rose two feet
overnight at Arthur City and at
last report was six inches below
flood stage of 25J/2 feet.
