BREAKING: Potential College Lake Dam failure spurs evacuations in Lynchburg, Virginia

College Lake Dam outside Lynchburg, Virginia is reportedly overflowing and on the brink of failure due to recently heavy rainfall. If the dam fails, portions of Lynchburg would reportedly flood within minutes.

Lynchburg, Virginia is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, about 50 miles east of Roanoke.

"Lynchburg has received 1.35” of rain so far on Thursday and 1.64” so far this month," AccuWeather Meteorologist Brett Rathbun said.

However, upstream rainfall can also contribute to rising water levels.

"3 to 6 inches of rain has fallen across the area since Sunday afternoon with the heaviest falling in the towns of Timberlake and Forest," Rathbun said.

Residents of threatened areas are being asked to evacuate. According to the National Weather Service, water levels in Lynchburg could reach 17 feet in just 7 minutes if the dam breaks, swiftly inundating homes and businesses.

"More rain is expected across the area through Friday as another inch of rain can fall," Rathbun said.

Until a dry spell in the weather pattern occurs or the water can be safely released, dam failure will continue to be a threat.

Anyone living in low lying areas by the dam should seek higher ground immediately, even if official evacuations are not ordered.

The Lynchburg Sheriff's Office has opened an area auditorium for evacuees, including pets, to spend the night.
