The Tennessee Valley Authority told people late Friday night below the Nolichucky Dam to evacuate after rainfall from the remnants of Hurricane Helene caused severe flooding in eastern Tennessee.
As of Saturday morning, the TVA said the Nolichucky River had crested and that the dam was holding.
TVA officials said the Nolichucky River crested 8 feet over the previous record.

The dam will be there but just like the other dam a few months back, the erosion will eat away that one side and the water will just go around the dam instead of over it.

That dam is over-topped? Seems to me like there needs to be a full evacuation downstream if there isn’t already.

There are a number of dams in that area that got failing grades in their previous inspections and many more who were expected to fail tests by 2030. We can't keep ignoring infrastructure repairs much longer and that means tax increases because private money on public projects is a bad idea even if you are fascist and want to privatize all those projects for a profit.

Most of the big dams in the country were built in the 40-60s. It's time to start renovating!
Isn't that how we got out of the war-era depression? Nation wide infrastructure investment.

Another dam problem? Minnesota, Texas, and now Tennessee just recently. But I am sure this is all just normal.
