Trinity River Authority declares ‘potential failure watch’ on Lake Livingston Dam following heavy rainfall, flooding

The Trinity River Authority of Texas has advised people to be aware of a potential dam failure at the Lake Livingston Dam.

The TRA announced the “potential failure watch” declaration on Friday.

A video shot earlier tonight by Drone Bros shows the current state of the dam:

“Although there is no immediate danger of either failure or breach of the dam, the potential does exist however remote it might be,” the TRA said in a statement on the matter. “The day-to-day operation of the dam will continue as necessary, although normal gate operations may vary as conditions dictate.”
