Corps Upping Outflow From Red Rock Lake

If you live along the Des Moines River downstream from Red Rock Lake, the Army Corps of Engineers says you could soon see flooding. The Corps increased the release from the same to 30,000 cubic feet/second. They're trying to preserve water storage space. KCCI reports engineers say water behind the dam's expected to keep rising and so will the outflow. When the pool hits 776 feet above sea level, the outflow will be raised to 35,000 cubic feet/second.
