The water can’t get much higher before it starts going over the dam. In the meantime water levels are wreaking havoc. Here my floating dock is pulled as high as I thought it would ever need to be. I would have to detach it from my winch cable and move it higher. I probably won’t because the lake will drop again as soon as TVA is able to lower it without more flooding down stream.
Some of my neighbors are having a tougher time though.
This is my next door neighbor’s dock. I tried moving that tree but I’ll have to wade in to get enough leverage. It’s very large and mostly waterlogged. That makes it really heavy. Yesterday afternoon a large float of debris washed up our little cove. The far end must be several feet deep in debris. Several dead animals are floating in the mess too.
Farther down is more debris trapped by a floating dock. Beyond that is a neighbor’s DECK that’s been covered. Their floating dock is still working though.
Taking a closer view. You’d have to swim to the ramp and wade across that to get to the dry floating dock.
