Lynchburg dam: Evacuations underway in Virginia after officials warn city could flood 17ft in seven minutes

Evacuations are underway in a Virginia city after officials have warned a potential dam failure could flood the city by exceeding 17ft in seven minutes.

According to the National Weather Service, a recent heavy rainfall amassing four to six inches has caused a dam in the city of Lynchburg to remain above its capacity.

Although emergency personnel reported that the dam had not failed during the early hours of Friday morning, officials fear that more rain throughout the day and weekend could threaten a dam failure.
