Accident type, without injuries
We had 16 inches of rain in a 35 hour period which caused a dam to overflow and breach. There are no dwellings or roads in the downstream flow. All water from the dam impoundment flowed into the Tombigbee river swamp and posed no danger to anyone. We reported the breach to an engineering company who advises us on impoundments.
