As some of you know, we live right on Kentucky lake and the water is going up and up and up!!!! Summer pool is 359 feet, according to TVA. The highest the water has ever been was 369.99 feet in 1984. Last years flood left us at 360.3 feet. The water level NOW is at 371.4 feet and conitnuing to rise!! It is suppose to reach 374 by wednesday or thursday!! The top of the gates are emasured at 375 feet, Then what happens???? The dams are not makde to sustain water that high, it will spill over the top. On the site......explore kentucky lake.....it says.... "Kentucky Dam wasn't made for that, so in theory, the lake cannot get any higher than 375'. It would take the mother of all rains to cause the lake to get that high and go over the top of the dam!!!" Here are a couple of pictures that i have included
of our dock!!!!!
Gives a whole new meaning to "floating dock"!!!!!!
