RUTHERFORDTON, N.C. — Waters in the famous lake where scenes from the movie “Dirty Dancing” were filmed are no longer overflowing the dam that holds them back in western North Carolina.
Rutherford County emergency management officials said engineers evaluated the Lake Lure Dam and determined that it is no longer at imminent risk of failure.
In an update around 1:30 p.m., emergency management said water was cresting the dam and flowing around the side walls. While the structural supports have been compromised, the dam wall was holding.

Evacuation sirens were sounding downstream and emergency officials went house to house to make sure everyone left the area.
Evacuees are being temporarily taken to an Ingles grocery store in Lake Lure. An emergency shelter has also been set up at RS Central High School. Officials asked anyone ordered to evacuate to go to the school, adding that anyone not evacuating should stay home due to hazardous roads “with an insurmountable number of trees and electrical lines that are down.”
