CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - With Hurricane Helene bearing down on the Carolinas and the rest of the southeastern United States, a Mecklenburg County lake is expected to begin overflowing Thursday.
Duke Energy said Mountain Island Lake, one of the lakes it controls, will surpass its maximum level of 100 feet.
By Friday afternoon, Duke said levels are likely to reach or exceed 110 feet, which would be the highest ever recorded at that lake.

Based on current forecasts and conditions, Mountain Island Lake will begin spilling today and is expected to reach or exceed 110.0 ft on Friday afternoon, which is 10 ft above the full pond elevation. This would be the highest lake level ever reached at Mountain Island Lake. Lake residents should prepare for flooding conditions and closely monitor lake levels. We urge people living along lakes and rivers or in flood-prone areas to use caution, follow directions from emergency managers, pay close attention to changing weather and streamflow conditions and stay informed. High water conditions can also create navigational hazards. Updates will be provided as conditions change. Lake level information is available at duke-energy.com/lakes, by calling 800-829-5253 and via the Duke Energy Lake View mobile app.
