Look at the green spot of grass on the right at 3:00 and compare it to 4:45 Water rises in a matter of minutes, seconds really. That's why the horn was blowing for so long, to warn people down the stream to clear out! Engineering and nature are a beautiful combination.

I live near the Allatoona Dam which is very similar in design. I've seen the overflow gates open a few times, but have never been there when they were opening them. I used to live in Athens when I was a kid and my parents would take me to Lake Hartwell and the dam. It's always been beautiful there! Thanks for sharing this! This was interesting to watch them open and great to see it again after many years.
