I don’t think these people quite understand what I dam breaking entails. This will be tragic if it does break and people don’t heed the warning

According to the Town of Lake Lure website, they lowered the lake level by seven feet for Hurricane Florence in 2018 in anticipation of its 15" rain forecast, and the dam performed well. It appears they only lowered it by one foot this week.

It’s only going to progressively get worse. I’ve been on the planet for 32 years, regardless of your beliefs the world is changing and it’s changing quickly.

That area is pretty impoverished. Some of them really don’t have the means to leave
