No Theme Week .2

Is “No Theme Week” a theme? Dilemma!

This was so interesting. Friends Bob and Marsha who live in Elizabethton, TN, took us to see an old dam that originally was built in 1912 to provide electricity for Johnson City and the area. It is one of the countries first hydro-electric dams. I am sure it has been rebuilt and it is now called Wilbur Dam and following the hurricane and the resulting torrential downpours every bit of space behind that dam and a much larger one further upstream are very full. So they are releasing all the water they can. Just as I took this photo the sirens went off and that means get out of the area as they are going to release much more water. We wasted no time and headed for higher ground.
