Thread: Jordan after a heavy rain

The lake is headed up fast, but at least the river is cresting. Remember that a mile or so below the Jordan Dam, Deep River and Haw River merge to form the Cape Fear. Deep River does not have a dam on it, so the Army Corp waits until the Deep river is back to normal, then starts letting water out of Jordan. Usually takes about three days. This prevents flooding down at Fayetteville and Wilmington. The green line is normal pool for Jordan.
