For perspective, more water has already flowed through than all of 2015 when the lake flooded...twice. The year of the no wake 4th of July the total flow for Bagnell was 3.45 trillion gallons, which we have already exceeded. The Osage River Basin below Bagnell has been scoured.
Anyways, it's an impressive amount of water, so I've done a mid-year info-graphic for perspective. Again, this is just for the first 7 months, we have a lot more water to go until the end of the year.

Flow scale is in Cubic Feet Second (cfs) |
And the monthly summary for the year so far. Notice that the total flow bar is nearly at the top of the graph. I've created this scale to this extreme high of 1000 billion based on the events of 2015. I didn't think we'd hit it again so soon. Just...wow.
