PIKE COUNTY, MS (WAFB) - The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for southwestern Pike County in southern Mississippi because officials believe a dam will fail.
NWS said local emergency management and law enforcement officials reported the Lake Tangipahoa Dam is expected to fail.
Forecasters expect severe flooding downstream along the Tangipahoa River from west of the McComb Airport and Magnolia to Osyka.
The water level is expected to rise nearly eight feet below the dam to six feet at Osyka. The river stage at Osyka is currently 14.8 feet.
The weather service said this is a flash flood emergency for all low-lying areas along the Tangipahoa River, including Osyka.
This will put the crest on the tangipahoa river at 21.5 feet ,highest on record. I believe this is the lake at Percy Quinn State park.

No damage. Test tank is an absolute mess with the incomin' tide. I musta a whole one from 8:00 til I went to bed. If I'd'a had somethin' stronger...I'd'a probably smoked it last night.
