Nice footage ! I drove out to Lookout on Saturday 9-28-24 trying to see the dam but could only see the lake from the boat access. Going downriver to just above the I-40 crossover the riverside neighborhoods were flooded. I walked across the bridge at Oxford the same day, but being able to see above the dam from the drone was nice. I've only seen that much water coming out of Oxford once, over 50 years ago when the older, narrower and lower bridge was there. It was also closer to the dam by about 50 feet. Water was all the way up to the road deck that time and there was a heavy mist over the bridge from the water coming through the flood gates
I wonder of we had no dams how much less flooding we would have and how high it gets nature did good controlling the river. Awesome video always been fascinated by dams
