The 2016 Crest
On August 14, 2016, the Amite River at Denham Springs crested at 46.20 feet, a record 4.7 feet above the 1983 flood, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Floodwater reached much of the city.
The fences that came through best had posts set deep in concrete and posts that don't rot: galvanized steel behind wood boards, vinyl, or aluminum. See fence post replacement.
