Damn that would be a tough call. Whats scary is that if they kept the water behind that damn, could that added water pressure cause problems to the damn structure itself, ie give out? That seems like a damned if ya do, damned if ya don't. No pun intended. Ah what the hell its Cinco de Mayo, pun away. |

Turned out ok in the end, and now they have learned to keep it at a lower level as much as possible. |

I think our local weather man here in TN has more on his mind than just the weather. This is hilarious...

Just for the record, I was born and raised in Nashville (and spent 34 of my 38 years there). NOTHING like this flooding has EVER happened that we know of. The only flood I remember was in 79 and it was 5" of rain in 24 hours and Mill Creek ran it's bank over and flooded Antioch...that's it. There is no way anybody could have prepared for this. As much as I bitch about their inadequacies in other areas (like ice/snow), I cannot fault the city or state for any of this. It was just freak...
I WILL however, say that the Corps of Engineers need to get off their asses and fix the dams and design a better way to handle the lakes/rivers...that has been a battle for decades... |

Instead of blaming the Corps of Engineers I would guess it has more to do with the government not appropriating any money to pay for the Corps of Engineers to take on those projects.
