If the rain events of 1980 were to happen today the lake will in fact leave its banks.  In 1980 that was not possible as at the time the water overflowed the dam.  Since then a barrier dam has been built to prevent that overflow.  It is the concrete wall you see as you pull up to the guard shack.  This will allow the lake to rise another 4ft or so above 490'.  If your elevation is above 494' you are still ok, but many of us aren't above that line. One of the few disadvantages of owning a flat lot.
