HIGH WATER!
Thursday April 3rd-Saturday April 5th, the county and surrounding areas received 6-7 inches of rain. Some roads were closed due to high water....some were washed out. State Road #46 in Columbus at the I-65 interchange was completely closed. Cordry Lake did not flood as bad as Sweetwater due to the construction pumps running 24-7. Sweetwater Rose approximately 3 feet covering docks and freeing boats off of lifts that weren't tethered. The Sweetwater Emergency Spillway was flowing for the second time in the history of the lake. (first time was 2008)
