Toccoa Falls Dam Failure Anniversary

Just after midnight 32 years ago today on November 6, 1977, the Kelly Barnes Dam failed, releasing 176 million gallons of water just above Toccoa Falls College campus in northern Georgia. Thirty-nine people lost their lives.

I wrote a series of blog posts about this incident a couple years ago.

• Part I - Unseen Danger
• Part II - A Wall of Water, Get Out!
• Part III - After the Flood

Here is a video I also made with the series.
