Boone Dam in Tennessee is upstream from 7 nuclear power plants.
"The winter drawdown, which will be complete by Nov. 10 is out of an abundance of caution, and public safety is our top priority. The dam is structurally sound, and we are continuously monitoring the dam to ensure it is safe."
Loosely translated that means, "Run for the hills, she's gonna go."

Sounds pretty dangerous to me. A sinkhole under a dam doesn't sound easy to fix. All the people making money off the dam will be saying "everything is OK," but somehow I think their opinions are suspect. I would expect a complete drawdown to begin repairs.
Do we even know how big this sink hole is?
Zero square feet. The sinkhole was repaired in October. The dam recently started leaking water so they now have to find the cause of that. The two events may or may not be related as far as I can tell. TVA lowering Boone Lake level early as part sinkhole investigation | News - Home
Then why do we have an article on it? It appears they are considering the effect of the earthquake in Virginia back in 2011.
The article I provided indicates that the sinkhole was repaired. As to why you believe the reporting of a sensationalist site over a local new outlet is beyond my ability to comprehend. It is possible that the two problems are different problems, but that is not disaster movie scenario enough for some I suppose.
Did I say I believe one over the other? Did I??
You could just admit that you jumped the gun on the sinkhole still existing.

About as large as the sink hole the Democrats are facing today.
Well I've been getting hammered because I didn't know that apparently this ****ing sinkhole has been repaired for months.

I bet the Democrats wish they could say that.
We'll know in about four or five hours.
Please stay on topic.
