Dam Breach on the Neches?

[woodsman]

Some friends in Vidor text me this morning that a dam breached and all of Orange Co. is under mandatory evacuation. They are still waiting to be rescued. This sounds like the worst thing that could happen to these people. Anybody have any intel on this?

Dam Breach on the Neches?

I think they are mixing two stories. I could be wrong.

Some levees in Port Arthur have breached.

Toledo is letting water go, similar fashion to flood of 2015. Not to the same CFS as 2015, but they are definitely sending water down stream.

I have not heard of this. i dont think its accurate but if it is... Please let me know asap

And Dam B, just south of Rayburn, was releasing A LOT of water yesterday, probably still is today. That much water might look like a dam breach...

I just saw on the news that Tyler County is releasing a bunch of water as a precaution. Said it was going to be a bunch of water and to evacuate. They didn't mention the name of the lake though.

I think that would be Dam B.

And Toledo probably isn't too far behind.

Writing the social security number is stupid- police and emergency responders do not have access to the database.

Writing your drivers license number allows police to know your identify, address, immediately.

Still horrible. Everybody be safe.

My sister moved from dam b to higher ground after Rita. I bet she is glad they made that move.

The rumor of the Dam B breach is false. It and Toledo are releasing water though.

Thanks fellas. I think they must have been mixing reports together as suggested. My friends were rescued and then put on a bus for Lake Charles.

Sorry for the false alarm Steve. I know you are esp. concerned for the safety of your BIL down there helping. I hope he is able to navigate the chaos safely.
