Video I captured with my GoPro Hero 5 during The Great Flood of February 2019 on the Tennessee River in Alabama. I walk out on top of Wilson Dam roadway and give a look down at the massive waterflow spilling through the flood gates. Well over 1 million Gallons per second.

I live off Veterans Drive between the Singing River Bridge and Wilson. Let me tell you, the roaring soundwaves that come from those spillways is very noticeable and relaxing but yet intimidating. And if you live here you know what I mean by that. I've walked along that side if the river along the canal and old Florence wagon company site all my life. And I'd never seen the water as high as I'd seen it during this event. My mom and them her age hav said that it's been worse flooding b4. But this was the first time seeing it actually cover the river heritage trail and path.

Absolutely!! I find it amazing that something can be so relaxing yet so terrifying at the same time. It was a real wow moment for me when I was up on the bluff above the rockpile and was watching the waves lap up against the base of the bluff wall. I am excited to see the finished product of the RH trail. I always had to carry my mountain bike across the rocks at that one spot lol. Also a gate there that I always had to get around at the Y. 🤔 lol Thank you for the view and comment!!

@trampingwithcosmo I agree.. I’m 39 that is definitely the highest in my adult life. Might have been some occasions in the late eighties early 90’s but I don’t remember them. Thanks for the view and comment!

The old railroad Bridge was once a great place to take in the sights of the flooding until some less than intelligent people decided it would be cool to step over the safety railings out onto the pilings. Now it's locked to prevent anyone to walk out on it in weather like this. Understandable as all it would've taken was one misstep for tragedy to occur.

Yes sir. Ruined it for everyone. Behind the railings is plenty close enough look for me especially with it ripping like was during the floods. I will say the view from the Dam was amazing! The sheer power of the water was just mind blowing! Thank you for your view and comment!
