That's a crazy video! What's the most they can discharge? I just checked and it was at 119k.

Here is a good flood from a few years ago, 2013. 180,000+ flow. This was the most I have ever seen. The fishing pier was completely under water.</p>

there was a even worse flood around 03 I do not know how much flow it had, but here are a few pictures of how extensive it was.

The flooding was so bad then that both ends of the circle I live on, were flooded, effectively leaving my home on an island. I have fond memories of canoeing in our neighbors yard. This flood was enough to cover one end of the road, but it was not as bad as floods in the past.(without even including the major flood of 2003)
