Flood in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana

Flood water from the heavy rain event on the 9th and 10th pushed down the Sabine River. The river stage at Bon Weir crested on the 13th. The record crest was 0.77 feet above the previous record that was set in 1913. Flood waters reached to Louisiana Highways 111 and 389 and nearly completely covered areas to the west of the roadways. This pushed water into the town of Merryville. Around 300 structures were flooded.

Heavy rain from the 9th and 10th pushed Toledo Bend Reservoir to a record high level. This forced the spillway gates to fully open. Additional flood waters flowed into the Sabine River from tributaries pushing the river to record flood stages at observing points south of the dam to Interstate 10. This flooded many structures along the river and washed out some roadways.
