Due to heavy rain that fell all day Friday into Saturday, officials with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers over the weekend moved to close Thurmond Dam in east Georgia. Corps officials in a press release said abundant rains in the upper Savannah River Basin including significant rain in the Stevens Creek sub-basin directly below Thurmond, spuured the move to stop outflows. Officials say they will evaluate river flow early today to determine when outflows from Thurmond Lake will resume.
