Garrison Dam Spillway opened first time in history since it was completed in 1955!

First time you can see from Lake Sakakawea side to the spillway side in history of dam!

You can see all along the gates are opened!


A close up of a few gates! June 1, 2011 was the first time anyone could see through these gates!


Sakakawea side of the spillway.



Pouring through the spillway...so much rushing as the water is white!



Flowing south to create more flooding in Bismarck and further south along the Missouri!



I have lived in ND since 1972...except for a few years...never seen the water so rushing through before this...it was kinda' erie feeling!
