The county is opening a shelter at the Tyler County Emergency Operations Center, 201 Veterans Way, Woodville, said Dale Freeman, the county's emergency management coordinator. Blanchette said he made the call out of "an abundance of caution" after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers informed the county it would increase discharges from the Town Bluff Dam, or Dam B, on Steinhagen Lake. Tyler County emergency management officials anticipate the Neches River, because of the dam discharges, could reach an elevation of 75 feet, which would mean home flooding for people in low-lying areas along the river.
