How high's the water mama?

We've had a rather wet spring here. Portions of the country North of here drain down through Manhattan by way of the Blue River and Tuttle Creek reservoir. With the down stream conditions, the Corps of Engineers has been holding water in Tuttle Creek. the lake is now approaching FULL. In less than four days, given the current inflow, the Corps of Engineers will be forced to begin releasing water from the dam.
What! The! HELL??? Did they not learn anything from 1993? This is a replay. Since they will be forced to begin discharging water at the same rate as it is coming in, the downstream communities are about to get screwed big time. The Corps should have learned something from 93. They did NOT.
If they had begun releasing water 45 days ago at a rate equal to the normal flow of the river, we would not be in this situation. Yes, some areas down stream would have taken it in the shorts. FEMA designates flood plains for a reason. You should not be building in those areas no matter how juicy the location is.
A lot of foolish decisions have been made by people in the Corps of Engineers. Those decision makers should loose their jobs and forfeit their retirement. It does not come close to the cost of damages that will be sustained in the coming days, but the reward for incompetence should be a long time standing in the funemployment line.
