While anything is possible, if the dam were to breach, I would rather be on the lake than below the dam, while the current would be extreme it wouldn't **** you through the breach, it would just **** the water out from underneath you, you would have no troubles beaching the boat. Remember a breach if it were to happen would be a 5 hour process, you would notice an increase in the current long before you were in immediate danger. Don't let these type of worries stop you from heading to the lake, I assure you its plenty safe and open for business.
