It's awe inspiring! We have to Englewood & Huffman dmas inthis area. Some one is always drowing, they get out on a boat and get too close to the dam. Some times it's weeks before they find the body.
Its really peaceful at times, and there is always a nice breeze. I move back to Chatty in a month, so I look forward to getting back down there. I kind of like the power of the flood waters, though. Majestic! Plus, it is a good time to catch giant catfish when the water is high! The big ones like to get close to the gates while they are open to eat whatever comes washing down to them. I have heard of people snagging 100+ lbs fish during flooding! Thanks for the video! Have a good one, brother!
When all the rain fell just over a week ago in Southern Alberta and the downtown as well as the Stampede Fairgrounds flooded including the football stadium and Saddle Dome which was flooded 10 rows from ice level, some of the water had to be released from the Gardiner Dam, the level of the South and North Saskatchewan river rose quite a bit. In Saskatoon where I live the street that runs along the river flooded across the road. In Western Canada we've seen the awesome power of nature.
Very cool. I assume it was part of FDR's TVA? (In college I used to work at a dam and it was my job to lower the gates when the lake level got too high and see that the correct amount of water was being sent to Fort Worth. That job had its moments.)

i loved fishing on the dams back home on the Alabama river....great fishing
That is for sure!
This is actually quite beautiful.
I used to go to Chatt State. Everyday I would eat my lunch down there by the river! Pretty place when sunny!
It was cool with the breeze coming off the water :)

Never saw anything like this before! Like a gigantic 160 megawatt wave park!
you would be surprised at how big the fish right there. when the water stops or slows down. I bet fishing is superb
Yes! It is a great city aye! :)
It has been crazy this year aye?
its been a long time since my last visit to the dam. need to stop by next time i visit the family in Ft. Oglethorpe.
I was there just 2 months ago. There was a fishing pier down that ramp. Hope it is just submerged and didnt wash away.

Awe, it will come soon? :)
I bet it is still there :)
It is an engineering feat! :)
If you live in Chattanooga we do!
Beats the hell out of walking around a noisy concrete downtown. Nice, exciting sound. Torrent music.
My son Barret wrote and recorded it :) Thanks!
I agree! :)
Yes, FDR is correct. It is bitter sweet :)
Adventures with dad!
Cool! I think we live int he same city! :)
The fishing pier is totally underwater - the one where the steps lead to...
You live in chattonoga?
There are monster fish there I have heard! :)
LOL You always have the best ideas! :)
Tenn and AL rock! :)
That is true! :)
Barret went there also and mentioned he would go there at times. I bet it is peaceful when the flood waters subside aye? :)
We have had several drownings there too. You would think people would know better.
I remember this, I was way up River on Watts bar lake and I was on my grandparents dock with water covering my belly button

I couldn't believe how small the guy looked over there fishing :)
The Dams create power but have their drawbacks also I guess.
Yesterday the City of Toronto was hit with heavy rain and flooding. The City of Toronto like Calgary will bounce back.
I think they guy fishing there thought they would all be there to escape the waves :)
It is pretty cool no? :)
I have
