Apr 3, 2008
Heavy rain the first week of April from a slow-moving frontal system produced significant rises on the Ouachita River and tributaries. The combination of high river flows and the excessive reservoir releases from Remmel Dam caused a moderate flood event from just below the dam to the Louisiana state line.
