The National Weather Service in Reno has issued a flash flood warning for a dam failure in central Lyon County in west central Nevada.

NWS Reno says at 12:33 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21, emergency management reported the imminent failure of the South Dayton Retention Pond in the next 30 minutes to one hour.

Officials say between 2 and 4 feet of water could inundate areas of east Dayton within two to three hours of failure.

The areas affected include east Dayton including the following roads and streets: Comstock, Pottassi, Nugget, Sutro, Rancho, and Dayton Valley Road.

NWS Reno says “this is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation” and advises those in the area to move to higher ground now, though Lyon County officials say there are no homes or property threatened at this time.

There is, however, potential that it could change in the next few hours.

The flash flood warning is in effect until 6:40 p.m.

Lyon County officials said crews are assessing opportunities to move water to more open areas.

  • I did not vote for Trump, but he is sure RIGHT about our neglected infrastructure. Now his problem in Nevada and it may well affect California as well. Moreover, all around California, our highways and related infrasructure are falling into neglect. What’s worse, this occurred so our government could supply cheap labor to our corporations, and put the burden of health care, food stamps etc for illegals on the backs of California citizens and legal aliens. NO MORE! Never again let our current crop of corrupt politicians run a fascist government for these corporations at the expense of the taxpayer. Recall every last one of them, democrats and republicans alike and polygraph the new ones four times a year to ensure their honesty!

    • Prime example! Agenda 21 under BR rock O-vomit, undermining America’s infrastructure and screwing Americans every painful inch. This appears to be Butt-rock’s preference but it isn’t Americas.
