Our lake (Lake Delhi) is flooding! The state would not let the dam open up because of a fair 20 miles down river. Now the water may wash out the road around the dam! Lake Delhi is around 7 miles long, 200yds wide. Home to over 70 CC's. Most of which are in danger. I already know my uncle's 97 is gone, my grandmas house is submerged to the roof. My dad's is on the high ground so not in any danger. I will post pics when I get back from the lake. ------------- "A Veteran is someone who at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to: 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life."

Mine is safe in the driveway. The dam has collapsed, and around 70 boats have gone down.

Closing a fair would have been better than losing a lake for a year or more. This is a crying shame, knowing personally how many cool old CC's are on that lake! I was supposed to meet Josh up there a week from Monday to ski, but obviously that's not happening. Sounds like I may be going up to help in the relief efforts! ------------- |

He is, I'm pretty sure his place was about a foot away from being flooded. I talked to him and he said he was able to get his boat out and docks secured to the shore. I'll be up tomorrow to see where the water level is. It was supposed to crest around 8pm central time. The dame levy failing may have actually saved quite a bit of property damage. ------------- "A Veteran is someone who at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to: 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life."

Josh - What a tragic turn of events. I have some attachment to the area because I learned to ski at Freddy's beach in 1961. We also bought our SN from a Lake Delhi resident.
I am glad your boat is OK & hopefully your uncle's is insured. I have never seen so much rain in July! Our lake/river is flooded too. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

This levee blow out is very similar to the lake Delton (Wis.) issue a couple years ago. They got it fixed and the lake was back up to the norm within a year.

Wow, that sucks, we had a similar flood about a month ago just north of San Antonio. Same damage and loss of boats but the dams involved are built to have water spill over so they were fine.
With a little bit of looking around it appears that the dam was in bad shape to begin with and they weren't spilling as much as they could have if everything was in proper working order. I work at a a series of dams so this kind of thing is very interesting to me. Our dams were not in the best shape 20 years ago and we began a very expensive project of re-anchoring, rebuilding and replacing almost everything. I live below a lake that holds about a million acre feet of water when full so I really don't want something like this to happen. |

Don,
It's very interesting with you working with dams however I think in this case nothing could be done due to the amount of rain that fell in such a short period of time. Yes, maybe a spillway may have helped pass more water than the actual gates could handle but it looks like no spillway was incorporated in this dam structure. Or, it was removed!! The dam that controls the chain I'm on up in northern Wisconsin, had the spillway removed I'd say 15 years ago when they build a coffer damn and did some HD work on the dam itself. The story I heard is there's no control of a spillway and if it does come to play, the water over it can really affect the people down stream. I do wonder if Josh's first statement regarding the fact that the officials didn't want to flood out the fair downstream comes to play?? It's a interesting concept and the truth will probably never come out!! With our problem up north and our extreme 120 year low water this spring the truth did come out. It was a miscalculation/human error!!! Bad snow pack figures!!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I'm not sure if there would have been enough time to drain the ammount of water needed to prepare for the surge. Upstream got in the neighborhood of 10" of rain the previous night. Who knows?
Here are some good videos I found. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYmB1NW7wPs - Dam http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsCXRX9jzIE - long video Also, here is the level chart, we are now around 10' below the normal level.  ------------- "A Veteran is someone who at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to: 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life."

Josh, didn't you say they drain the lake once in a while to do maintenance and dredging? Hopefully they can take care of some other stuff while they are fixing the dam. Have you heard of any recovery plans? ------------- |
Posted By: TX Foilhead
Date Posted: July-25-2010 at 5:08pm
| That's gonna take a little more than just the usual maintenance. The bad thing is with all the mtg that has left the country nobody has the capability to do some of this stuff real quick anymore. They don't make anything until you order it and then there might be a wait because of the very small staff that they have. The goo news is that it looks like the earten parts are what failed and that can be fixed relatively quickly. Hopefully with the rehab process that was already going on the other stuff will be ready fairly quick. |

Pete,
Some of the pics and articles I found showed that one of the flood gates closed, and I don't know that the others were fully open. Another article stated that they hoped to have the generators back in operation in a couple of years, and there had been some previous damage to the structure form earlier floods this year. They weren't spilling water like they were supposed to be able to do, but there is always the chance that that would not have been enough. Spillways are the last resort and might not have save anything that was on the lake, but may have saved the dam. Just trying to spread a little insite, lakes are pretty important to most around hear, it will be interesting to get back to work and find out some more. |

Just got back from Delhi. We went from having a lake in front of the cabin, to the highest water levels recorded, to a river that is 10 feet lower than the lake all in 48 hours. Cherie, Helaina, and I are fine and as Josh already said the water got within about a foot of flooding our porch before the road next to the Dam gave way. Josh - that picture of the cabin is amazing considering we should have about 12 feet of bank leading down to the water.
Most of our neighbors on our road were not as lucky as we were and lost all of the contents of their homes or cabins. It was heart breaking to see all of their personal belongings ruined. Thank God no one was hurt in this disaster. We are hoping that it won't be too long before the lake comes back. Josh - glad you and your Dad are OK. Sorry to hear about your uncle's boat. -Phil An LP tank leaking as it zips down the river. At least one of these exploded as it went over the dam.

Missed this thread, been following in the news and on Facebook. Glad all the CCF'rs are okay and safe. It is a shame How did Hartwick Marina fair? Any chance to recover any of the CC that got loose?
Reading some of the news reports sounds like they are still questioning whether they rebuild, placing the decision at the foot of the lake association to fund. That is a bunch of Hooey, especially if the state would not let them open the flood gates. Need to be some serious negotiations going on about that! I sure hope the state or feds come through with some aid, I would hate to see Delhi go away. ------------- Our http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4669" rel="nofollow - 98 Sport Nautique My Dad's 63 Ski N |

The marina had water about halfway up the roof....fully submerged. Not sure how many of their boats they got out. I "heard" they lost a couple brand new CC's in the show room/shed but not sure if that's true or not.
I agree that it needs to be rebuilt. Too many people's lifestyle down the drain there. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

Unfortunately it sounds like the Lake is soon to become public enemy number one. The media is harping on "private dam owned by the homeowners on the lake" as the cause. In all actuality, the state built the dam in the 20's to help flood control, and is a hydro-electric dam. They recently pushed the association to buy it so they could take it out of their budget. At the same time, the state wouldn't allow it to be a private lake. The public roadway/levy broke, not the dam. And it is the state who says to open and how much. The governor did vow to rebuild though. ------------- "A Veteran is someone who at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to: 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life."

Media better go back through and read its own stories! Several said the Homeowners Association did an excellent job keeping the maintenance up to date on the damn. Josh, like you said it seems, the issues seem to be with the levy and roadway and it sounds like the state was still responsible for those.

So back to the matter at hand. Josh, when you saw these boats was there any hope for restoring them. Since there appears to be so many CC's that were damaged, and with the expertise of the people on this site, all the offers to help, and generally being geographically close, what about setting up a weekend to help do some restorative efforts. We could hold a mini reunion near Delhi, and help owners restore the boats. It would be a mini reunion centered around tech sessions that help put these boats back together, lots of hands on experience. Undoubtedly their is a lot of damage to the underwater hardware, which their is a lot of expertise on this site. I guess we would need to have someone see who needs help and what each boat needs. It would take a lot of coordination, but it would sure be a neat way to help out these folks. ------------- Our http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4669" rel="nofollow - 98 Sport Nautique My Dad's 63 Ski N |

I didn't get close to get any looks. Most of the boats will be on private property. The state parks just downstream are closed, and too muddy to be able to do any hiking. I'll wait a good week or so and stick to the public areas to get a good look. Even though the lake is gone, the stream is still in flood stages. ------------- "A Veteran is someone who at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to: 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life."

It is like that bridge in Minnesota that broke a couple years back with those people on it. Something that you would think that would not fail and give away. Just tears a communtity up!! ------------- 1985 CC 2001-SOLD Lee Michael Johnson |

Only bad news I got on vacation. I knew it was bad when my wife woke me up to tell me it was the lead story on CNN. I could give a rats ass if the lake is private or not. They better rebuild that dam. I can count the skiing lakes one one hand in Iowa. I would love to have a place on that lake. Probably the only place in Iowa where people know what a Correct Craft is.

Chris,
I don't know who the owner is but the Huskies ski team uses that boat. It's really awesome to see and hear it in operation during the ski shows. I sure hope Nauti Girl made it through the flood. -Phil |

Mitch Tanner is the son that "inherited" that boat. Sweet ride, very fast, very great sounding. Been in it a time or two. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |
