- $60,000

- Coordinates
- 31.792, -94.145 (the zone’s center; the record gives no point)
Heavy rains upstream on the Sabine River in extreme northeast Texas led to river flooding where about 20 homes were flooded from Juaquin Texas to Logansport Louisiana as the river crested at 33.2 feet. Toledo Bend rose to 173.60 feet, some eight inches above full pool stage. The high water resulted in the Sabine River Authority having to open the gates completely at the dam with releases of 116,000 cfs. This flooding is mostly due to backwater flooding from very high pool stages on Toledo Bend.
