dropping the water level in KY

[flashback]

The USACE is dropping the water level of lake cumberland from 723 to 680. apparently the dam is is leaking and they are afraid it could possibly wash out..I hate this for all you folks that live there.. I'm on watts bar and if they dropped it 40 feet the whole thing would be gone... :'(

Yea, the water is washing out the limestone under the foundation of the dam.

That dam was finished in 53 I think, I guess the old coots back then couldn't do any better. That dam has had problems since the 60s.. just makes me wonder about the rest.............d
