Day 1175 - That's a lotta DAM water!
Greetings, Bloggy Weekenders!These are 'Dam awesome' pictures Charlie (blog reporter!) took yesterday at Tims Ford Dam.
This is water being released out of the DAM spillway - and BOY IS IT EVER SPILLING!
In case you don't know, Tennessee generates a lot of electric power with water (hydroelectric), and the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) manages the dams and waterways in Tennessee.Blog reporter Charlie also noted that many of the fishing pier/docks are underwater.
Nothing like a good spring flood, eh?
Gotta go to water aerobics!
TTFN and have a nice Mothers Day Eve!!!

Good pictures Charlie, usually those spillways are high and dry. I'll let you explain the details of river and dam management between TVA and the Corps of Engineers to Karen :)
