You told me earlier that it was a very wet spring, had been raining a lot and the rivers and lakes were swollen. My guess is the lakes were already full and when the next big rain came the flood happened because the power company did not anticipate the rain and draw down the lake enough to hold the heavy rain. Key here, the lake was full at the time. Sounds like the engineering mistake was in not keeping the lake a couple of feet down in anticipation of additional rain. Dropping the winter pool an additional amount as you suggested doesn't help at all once the lake is full, but it sure messes up things when there is a drought.
