Update From Duke Energy Regarding Hurricane Sally

Heavy rain from Hurricane Sally is forecast across the Carolinas this week, which will result in higher lake and river levels across the Nantahala, Catawba, Yadkin and Keowee-Toxaway river basins. To prepare for the storm, Duke Energy is lowering lake levels by aggressively moving water through these river systems.

Lake residents should prepare for possible flooding conditions and closely monitor lake levels. High water conditions can create navigational hazards.

People living along lakes and rivers or in flood-prone areas are being urged to use caution, follow directions from emergency managers, pay close attention to changing weather and streamflow conditions and stay informed.
