London Dock breaks apart on Cumberland.

[PRO V LE]

London Dock has broken up in the swift current and high winds today.
So far at least three sunk boats and several capsized .
The sections of dock and cartwheeling boats have already passed the Omega ramp area near Burnside.
Rescue/Salvage operations will wait for safe light due to the current and debri in the water on the east end.
The fuel pier so far seem's O.K.
This was a fishermans type place and I feel bad for all involved.

That is bad news. Didn't realize we had that kind of current in Cumblerland now. With the lake down, how far down lake do you have to be to not feel the current?

The Lake jumped to 687 from 680 in a short time, they are at 20,000+ CFS thru the generators at the Dam on 24 Hr. schedules.
Thats alot of water.

Alot of rain fell in just a few hours. There and still is lots of water pushing down the river. I hope everyone involved comes out ok.
