Hoover Dam's Massive Flood JUST GOT EVEN BIGGER — HISTORIC 11 Feet Higher

Hoover Dam's Massive Flood JUST GOT EVEN BIGGER — HISTORIC 11 Feet Higher A rare October flood just sent Lake Powell, the reservoir that feeds the Colorado River down to Hoover Dam, nearly 11 feet off its record low in days, the biggest fall rise it has ever recorded, and a second wave of storms then pushed it more than 21 feet higher. You'll see how three floods from one storm hit the lake, why a nearly empty canyon rises so fast, what happened to Bluff and the Navajo Nation communities along the San Juan, and why Lake Mead, behind Hoover Dam, hit a record low the very same day. We also look at Hoover's turbine danger line, what experts say about the drought, and what this El Nino winter could bring. #LakePowell #HooverDam #LakeMead #ColoradoRiver #Flood #ElNino Lake Powell, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Colorado River, Lake Powell flood, Lake Powell water level, Lake Mead water level, Lake Mead record low, Glen Canyon Dam, San Juan River flood, Bluff Utah flood, Four Corners flooding, Navajo Nation flooding, Lake Powell rising, Hoover Dam turbines, Colorado River drought, Southwest flooding 2026, El Nino winter, Flaming Gorge, Western drought, water news, reservoir levels
