2004 levee failure
On 3 June 2004, the Upper Jones Tract levee near
Woodward Island failed, inundating the entire island with more than 150,000 acre⋅ft (190,000,000 m3) of water. The island, which lies 3 metres below sea level, required three weeks to repair the breach, and an additional five months for de-watering after the pumps were shut down on 18 December 2004.[4]
The levee failure resulted in approximately $90 million in repairs.
