Here's what we know about reports of failure at Nolichucky Dam

The TVA said it activated a "condition red warning" about an imminent breach at Nolichucky Dam.

Okay what y'all need to start reporting on now and you can check for yourself our water supply is underwater itself We have two days worth of water supply for our county Green county they are going to implement emergency shut-offs for non-essential buildings in town like restaurants and car washes. And again they have two days worth of water supply for Greene county they are urgent residents to use water sparingly. This needs to be reported on before we run out of water

Imagine getting a dam failure alert at 3 am. Or not getting one…

This is when I wish I had paid attention to that part of school when they talked about all the dams and the TVA water stuff... And also why I like living on top of a ridge... it's gonna take GOD like flooding to get up here.

Failed or overtopped? Big difference. Notice the absence of any photographs.

Looks like the only thing preventing ALL of downtown Knoxville from going underwater is the Douglas Dam... I hope its a good one.

If I lived anywhere near that Dam or in those 3 County's I would get the HELL OUT OF THERE Get out of the State or go North of the State, somewhere to find shelter with my important papers, and 7 days of clothes.

It's not a Failure it's a Complete collapse

[JennyWren]

Is Nolichucky the 2nd dam that failed (or is about to fail?). The news is telling us the dam above Newport failed today also.

[macking]

Wonder how the sediment buildup behind the dam will impact everything..

[SecretSquirrel-etdl]

Well, the greedy powers that be have preferred that dam to whither and decay for years rather than allow upkeep and affordable energy to the surrounding areas anyway, so tonight they’ll probably get their ultimate wish.

Why not use red graphic for red warning?

Perhaps it's time to start paying attention to what is happening around you and not depending on the useless governments and media, Putting your lives in the hands of strangers isn't working out to well is it? Put your phones down and start talking to your neighbors again. Look up and watch what is happening above your head. Most importantly seek God while you still have time. The Book of Revelation is important. Stop the bread and circus mentality.

So two rivers go to Douglas Lake….Nolichucky river and Pigeon river from the mountains.

[rosanneshinkle]

I am sure Mayor Pete will be right on it. How many dam failures have we had?

[johntolbert]

your map sucks for people that need to know if they have to go

[mydgrx]

the first dam failure was a false report👈

[uhadme]

Government should go back to interrupting broadcasts, the news has cried "wolf' too much.
Make it official, or I don't care.
LOL @ this goof reading my warnings.
