At 6.39 ft deep, this is higher than recorded on any Sept 5 in 81 years of monitoring. The water volume coming down the Tangipahoa River, still flowing at a low level, contributing to the ongoing drought in Tangipahoa Parish, currently rated severe. The Tensas River channel is rated extreme low in watershed Region 3.
