SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has issued a breach watch for Arkabutla Dam after increased rainfall and melting ice raised reservoir water levels. Residents in seven counties in Mississippi are alerted, and while the dam’s condition hasn’t changed recently, concerns persist due to signs of distress noted last May.
