Engineers Abandon Dam Fight Amid Flood Waitout
In Kentucky, Army engineers paused efforts to shore a temporary dam as floodwaters rose, evacuating about 1,700 residents in the 60 square mile valley. The water level neared the dam crest, with officials uncertain when spillover would occur. Crews had raised the dam to two feet, but abandoned further work as the top remained too narrow to support bulldozers. Residents faced repeated evacuations and stay-or-return orders as authorities warned of imminent danger and possible breach.
