A little bit of hope. The dam was supposed to be renovated next week, or so I hear.

I really wish the National Hurricane Center would stop quoting 'category' vectors for hurricanes, and instead adopt a more useful danger level system. This was a category 1 hurricane - no big deal to a whole lot of people who have rode out such things. But here you had a very slow moving system, with a massive wind field, and loads of potential for soaking rain.
Rain measured in feet, storm surge of up to 10 feet, and constant hurricane force winds. It was a disaster waiting to happen, and to the NHC's credit, they mentioned it in every single update - at the bottom, well after most people stopped reading.

The Obama Administration was looking for someone who was willing to dynamite that dam. They asked this guy, but he waved them off - "Not me! You guys can handle it."

Sounds like a great place to put a generator if there isn't one already.

My understanding is that there was to be a controlled release to drain the lake for repairs this winter.
