In spring of 1979 there was a 100year event that caused flooding basically state wide. At that time the water rose to a few inches over full and started to flow around the day on the eastern side. Everything that could be sending water downstream was being done. So much water the bridge below the day was washed away. After that event APCO engineered and built the barrier day that can be ease all seen by driving up to the east side guard shack. Now it can actually rise out of her banks by a few feet. It supposedly is now engineered to a 300year event. But I never speak of a ladies age, especially one as powerful as Mother Nature. So I guess the answer is yes it can, but no it won't. Like has already been stated, the powers that be now have much better tools with which to control the water much better. The best way to know if your Lake house is in danger of flooding is simple. Did your mortgage company require flood insurance? Not 100% accurate Guage but a more reliable one than me because their opinion matters.
