Leaks have been reported after several heavy rain events.
Following heavy rain events one should avoid contact with the creek if at all possible.
However, a large rain event began to inundate the area on September 19.
A spokesman for the weather service said, "We have this kind of rain event here every two to four years."
"Geographically, we're just set up for these heavy rain events."
The river flooded after heavy rain events in 1949 and 1954.
Significant rain events can occur in the spring and fall.
The next significant rain event is going to be critical.
A week before this rain event, the level saw the lake holding only 29% of full capacity.
Several rainfall records in the Nashville area were broken during the rain event.
