For those,of you not on Facebook, use caution. Lake is expected to crest on Wednesday at 470 feet. That's 5 feet above summer full pool. 

 

Be careful,

Does anyone remember what date the lake flooded over the dam when a dam broke somewhere? I have tried to  find out when but cannot locate it but have seen a chart in the past.

I don't recall that. It got to 477 or so in 1977 or '78. I can't remember the exact numbers but I think the top of the dam is 481. 

The only reaso I know this useless information is I had a battle with my mortgage company about flood insurance. The elevation of the bottom floor of my house is above the dam is the only way I got out of it. 

Someone posted a nice history on the Facebook page a day or 2 ago. 

The good news is, once we get through today, things should start improving. Wouldn't be surprised if we're not back at winter level by this time next week. 

Peace

Took the data from the top 25 floods on logan martin(from top link) and added the data for the last 6 years(chart from bottom link) and came up with the below chart of where this flood stands in terms of others.  

 

where there is not a number for historic crests is where I added info from the 2nd link.
