Authorities in southeast Texas are urging residents near Carter Lake Dam in Camden to remain evacuated after an eight-inch hole was discovered in the structure. The discovery prompted emergency alerts and door-to-door evacuations over the weekend as officials feared a potential dam collapse. Crews are working diligently, pumping water to lower lake levels and assess the extent of the damage to the dam's integrity. Multiple shelters have been opened to house displaced residents, providing temporary accommodation and support during the ongoing safety inspections.
