Lake Norman came within a few inches of full pond, but did not exceed it. On Friday, the headwaters of Lake James rose more than six feet above the full pond level. On Monday, the lake level was almost two feet above the full pond, but continues to decline.

Lake Wateree, the southernmost lake in the chain, peaked at six feet above full pond on Monday. According to Duke Energy, water levels are still five feet high as of 9 a.m. Monday and will take several days to recede.

Water flowing through the Catawba River and its lakes also caused significant flooding in riverine areas. Parts of the Riverwalk in Rock Hill, including the Pump House restaurant, were underwater. Catawba Park in Tega Cay was also underwater.
