I'm very surprised that more attention hasn't been given to a possible failure of the Wolf Creek Dam. This could be catastrophic on a NO Katrina scale. Check out Davidson County. I hope any of you guys living in the inundation zones have flood insurance and a "get the hell out of Dodge" plan. According to the US Army Corps of Engineers the estimated damage in case of a failure is over $3 billion in damages...not to mention the possible loss of lives.

Thanks for the reminder. It's an issue that we Nashvillagers are keeping a wary eye on.

And the ACE has already lowered the level of the lake and is starting repairs, from what I understand.
