The National Weather Service in Louisville has extended the Flood Warning for a Dam Floodgate Release in North central Clinton County, Southwestern Russell County, Southeastern Monroe County & Central Cumberland County until 2:45 PM CST Monday.
On Saturday afternoon, Wolf Creek Dam continued to report elevated water release from the dam since the reservoir continues to run high. This flood gate release, combined with existing high water in the warning area, has caused flooding along the Cumberland River which will continue until the release at Wolf Creek Dam ends.
Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.
