@@laraparks7018 this info what i got from google I Overview … Yes, dam releases contributed to flooding in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene brought torrential rains to the state in September 2024: Lake Lure Dam Water from the Broad River basin crested the dam's walls, prompting evacuations downstream. Waterville Dam Large amounts of water moved through the Catawba River system, leading to evacuations downstream. Douglas Dam The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) released record amounts of water from Douglas Dam to prevent additional flooding and recover reservoir storage space. The water flowed into the French Broad River and eventually into the Tennessee River. Nantahala Dam A discharge of 2,400 cubic feet per second (CFS) or more can cause flooding downstream. A discharge of 110 CFS or more can lead to major flooding, which can affect homes and bridges. The flooding was made worse by the area's rugged terrain and the combination of heavy rains from Hurricane Helene and two days of previous rain. The flooding caused widespread damage, including: Submerged communities, Swamped farmland, Unmoored buildings, Power and water infrastructure damage, and Landslides and mudslides.
The infrastructure in the United States, including dams need replaced and repaired. Our government is too busy, funding wars in other countries and support illegal immigrants.

The emergency spillway right through the entire town and several roads and homes. Good joke! Especially when they could have repaired the dam years ago. Instead tax payer dollars go into their pockets "while it was routinely checked" , MY ASS!
Now, an emergency spillway would let water out as it goes, not flood, an entire city. You have no idea how an emergency spillway operates.
