Helene in NC | Lake Lure Dam at risk of breaching; evacuations underway in historic Dirty Dancing filming location
RUTHERFORDTON, N.C. — Waters within the well-known lake the place scenes from the film “Soiled Dancing” have been filmed are now not overflowing the dam that holds them again in western North Carolina.
Rutherford County emergency administration officers stated engineers evaluated the Lake Lure Dam and decided that it’s now not at imminent threat of failure.
Friday morning, sirens have been set off and other people have been evacuated from areas downstream of the Lake Lure Dam.
Water was periodically launched from the dam this week, however there was an excessive amount of rain to maintain up, officers stated.
Lake Lure is a small lake city positioned about 30 miles east of Asheville.
The city is understood for its lake that sits within the middle, and for the Lake Lure Inn, a historic inn the place the forged and crew of the 1987 movie “Soiled Dancing” stayed throughout filming.
