The Dam That's Holding Back The Flood

.





Lake Cumberland is a nice place to go in central Tennessee.
It's not a nice place to have come to you. And that's what the
Army Corps of Engineers has been concerned about. The Wolf
Creek Dam holds back millions of gallons of water from Nashville
and other communities along the Cumberland River. And the Army
engineers have expressed some growing concerns about a possible
dam break. They said a break could kill many residents and cause
over three billion dollars in damage. A Corps spokesman said that
failure of the dam wasn't imminent but that evacuation plans would
be a good idea. They're lowering the water level in the lake and
they're trying to fortify the dam, because that dam is all that stands
between a lot of lives and a major disaster.
