Chuckster, that would be real bad, real bad. ACOE says that at summer pool if the big C was emptied it would cover the entire state of Kentucky with three inches of water......

I saw the KY Afield episode this past weekend. Really good story on the current construction, history, and what could happen if it failed. They said failure would be a biblical type disaster and in some areas of Nashville could have water 3 stories high

Yes.......

It's a SHAME someone has not put serious effort into this before now.

They said with the technology of the time, Wolf Creek was one of the BEST ever built.

Now, they say, it is POOR construction, in a POOR area, and the methods of the past, have serious problems.

Their plan will definitely help, but I think a WHOLE new dam, downstream will be built within the next 30-40 years.

At summer pool if the dam broke they said the flooding downstream would be of "Biblical Proportion". The Tennessee Titans football stadium in Nashville would have 30 feet of water in it is unbelievable at how much water is in the Big C when she is full.

I was in the VA hospital on Friday for an outpatient operation. we were stuck on the bridge on the west side of town and the river was already up in the river stadium at the head of the 70's or west end which ever you prefer to call it. there may have been another four or five feet before it hit the streets on river road access. the area where they are trying to build the Summits luxury building was filling up with alot of run off water we were staying over night due to my surgury at 0630 and we woke up in the worst part of the storm about three inches of rain hit in less than an hour. just three inches was scary now add the 40 feet that NG said was possible if the dam did break. they predicted 80 feet of water at Burksville. Well I guess it is all in Gods good time. The past few years have been very good for the schedule of repair, As he watches us today he has given us the skill and knowldge of how to prevent this flood. We have come many times more capeable now than when the dam was first constucted.

They seem pretty confident that the new wall will solve all the issues. This was very interesting look at this problem. Great show!

[Shimano4Life]

Amazing......the damage that would occur if WCD were to collapse. All the water in the lake at the moment can't be helping matters much. I'm sure the gates are wide open right now. Had a trip planned to go to Big South Fork and try to hook up with some river smallies (19 mile canoe trip), but it looks like I won't be going now. There is even more rain forcasted for the weekend......
