Hartwell Dam with Flood Gates Open by Lynne Jenkins
After "epic" rainfall over the course of a month, the Hartwell Lake reached flood levels. The Army Corps of Engineers had no alternative but to let off copious amounts of water. The water flowed down the Savannah River into Lake Russell, then into Lake Thurmond and on to the Atlantic Ocean.
