Reelfoot Lake Nr Tiptonville
Reelfoot Lake located near Tiptonville, TN in Tennessee is a unique natural lake with a fascinating history. It was formed by a series of earthquakes in the early 1800s, which created a shallow and swampy lake. The lake is fed by two major rivers: the Obion and Forked Deer rivers. The hydrology of the lake is important as it provides habitat for a variety of aquatic species, including fish, birds, and reptiles. The lake also serves as a major recreational destination, attracting tourists who come to fish, hunt, and enjoy the natural scenery.

What does the Hazard hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card below for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
