Dam Is Washed Away Liberating Rainbow Lake Fish
Heavy rain in the Athens area caused swollen creeks and flooding, washing away bridges and damaging crops. The Morrison family’s Rainbow Lake in Alexander Township vanished as the Pratts Fork dam collapsed, releasing thousands of bass and other fish into the stream and mud. At least 12 county bridges were lost and road surfacing washed away, jeopardizing winter repairs as the Hocking River rose again and Route 33 and Route 50 faced closures.
