Reelfoot Lake Nr Tiptonville reservoir
Reelfoot Lake Nr Tiptonville
Reelfoot Lake located near Tiptonville, TN in Tennessee is a unique natural lake with a fascinating history. It was formed by a series of earthquakes in the early 1800s, which created a shallow and swampy lake. The lake is fed by two major rivers: the Obion and Forked Deer rivers. The hydrology of the lake is important as it provides habitat for a variety of aquatic species, including fish, birds, and reptiles. The lake also serves as a major recreational destination, attracting tourists who come to fish, hunt, and enjoy the natural scenery. Additionally, the lake supports agricultural activities, such as rice cultivation, and contributes to the local economy. The surrounding area receives an average of 10-15 inches of snow each year, which contributes to the lake's water supply.

About Reelfoot Lake Nr Tiptonville
Where does the data for Reelfoot Lake Nr Tiptonville come from?
Daily storage, pool elevation, and release rates are sourced from USGS, USBR, and USACE monitoring stations. Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
Storage observations are updated daily by the operating agency. The 15-day weather forecast refreshes throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- check the "as of" timestamp on the storage card.
What does the Hazard hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this reservoir, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
