On October 22, floodwater off the San Juan River pushed the Lake Powell water level up 1.83 feet in a single day. Reclamation's daily record holds only 13 bigger days, and every one of them comes from 1964, when the lake was still filling for the first time.
The flood that did it was not the biggest ever to reach the lake. A fall flood in 2006 sent in more water and lifted it less. What changed is the lake, and the reason sits in Reclamation's own numbers.
