GREENE COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) – The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) issued a Condition Yellow for the Nolichucky Dam in Greene County on Friday after severe flooding.

A TVA social media post said the following:

Out of an abundance of caution, we have issued a Condition Yellow for Nolichucky Dam in Greene Co., TN. A Condition Yellow indicates that the dam is approaching its threshold to withstand excessive floodwater, necessitating immediate action. The dam structure has not failed. Local county emergency management officials are coordinating evacuations as appropriate. Extreme rainfall from the remnants of Hurricane Helene is causing record river levels.
