Erm, nope. Is that only 1 death…on record? Why the hell is it so close to the road?

Glory Hole? They really thought that was the right name? GLORY HOLE??

Only one death. How many years until it needs to be fed again?

It is a man made drain for the lake. What you don’t see in the video is the dam that’s built off to the side. So when the reservoir gets too high, it’ll dump some of the water out of the dam below to lower the water level

It would be awesome going over that in a kayak, for about three seconds.

I have a major irrational fear of spillways. I’ve never seen one in person, the pictures are terrifying enough.

I used to live close to there and grew up water skiing and fishing that lake. I’ve seen it spill over a couple times, and when those hills were on fire. Cool place.

Seems unnecessarily close to a normal human spawning location.

How has The Fast and The Furious franchise not filmed a car jumping into it while drag racing a submarine and dodging helicopter machine guns?

There are very few things I’m irrationally afraid of, those things are one. How is there not a giant fence or something? Edit, it looks like there is a floating barrier.

Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to rest your mind
You know you should, so I guess you might as well

I grew up very near this, and for my entire life since I first saw it, I have had recurring nightmares about getting sucked into it.

I’m pretty sure that’s not a glory hole.

Only one death–and that man’s name?

I’m a local. We used to skate the out flow pipe when I was a kid. Never heard it called morning glory hole, just the glory hole.

I don’t like it..
But where does the water go?
