Lake Summit flood risk rises after Helene drains dam water
Green River Fire Chief Dustin Nicholson warned of worsening floods as Lake Summit remained high after Helene. Northbrook Power Management failed to lower the lake level, causing water backups on Green River and NC 225, flooding boat houses, roads, and homes while responders evacuated residents and navigated blocked routes. The dam’s damaged powerhouse and pipe system limit downstream flow management, raising ongoing concerns about lake level control and regional resilience.
