Lake is 300 acres a full pool with average depth of 8’.
Lake is well above pool and also has a couple flooded creeks feeding the lake. These areas are holding a lot of water and all this will drain down.

Tangipahoa River is also probably extremely high which doesn’t give any breathing room. Also, the Tangipahoa is pretty narrow and a shallow river south of Kentwood.

Is the dam being over-topped, undercut or crumbling?

Not that it matters all that much downstream, I’m just curious.

I’m surprised NBC acknowledged this - it’s not New Orleans....
