Record rain KY TN Valley TVA Lakes

[ffmedic74]

Many of the TVA lakes are nearing capacity to hold back water. Lake Cumberland will reach a new record tonight and only 9 ft from the top of the flood gates. US Army COE is doing a great job managing the TVA system, but nature is throwing some serious rain at us. Corp is currently letting out 22M gal/min of water and going to 27M gal/min tomorrow at Wolf Creek Dam which holds back Lake Cumberland which normally has 1,200mi of shoreline. Pics of 76 falls and Wolf Creek Dam.

I am in the Nashville area (Mt. Juliet) and it is insane how much rainfall we are getting. Still coming down as I type this.

Our local lake is the highest I've ever seen it, and normally it doesn't reach full level until April

Same here. Lake Greenwood normally doesn't reach full pool until April 15. We are already above full pool.
