FOREWORD

The U.S. Geological Survey and the National Weather Service have a long history of cooperation in monitoring and describing the Nation's water cycle the movement of wa ter as atmospheric moisture, as precipitation, as runoff, as streamflow, as ground water, and finally, through evaporation, its return to the atmosphere to begin the cycle over again. The cooperative effort has been a natural blending of technical talent and responsibility. The National Weather Service is the Federal agency responsible for monitoring and pre dicting atmospheric moisture and precipitation, for forecasting riverflow, and for issuing warnings of destructive weather events. The U.S. Geological Survey is the primary agen cy for monitoring the quantity and quality of the earthbound water resources, including both ground water and surface water.

This report represents another step in the growth of our cooperative efforts. In some ways, this closer working arrangement has been spurred by six major flood disasters that have struck the Nation in the last 5 years. In August 1969, the remnants of Hurricane Camille caused flooding of the James River and other streams in central Virginia that left 152 people dead or missing. In February 1972, the failure of a coal-waste dam sent a flood wave down the Buffalo Creek Valley of West Virginia, leaving 118 people dead or missing. On June 9, 1972, extremely heavy rains over the eastern Black Hills of South Dakota produced record-breaking floods on Rapid Creek and other streams, leaving 237 dead and 8 missing. Beginning on June 18, 1972, the remains of Hurricane Agnes pro duced floods in the Eastern United States from Virginia to New York that killed 117 peo ple in what has been called the worst natural disaster in American history. In March 1973, torrential rains in seven States in the Southeastern United States resulted in severe flood ing in nine major river basins, including the Tennessee River basin. Seven lives were lost, hundreds were made homeless, and heavy damages occurred in urban and industrial areas. Most recently, the spring 1973 floods on the Mississippi River produced a record 89 days of floodflow at Vicksburg, Miss., and 78 days at St. Louis, Mo., and inundated more than 11 million acres of land. More than 30,000 homes were damaged during the flood.

These disasters emphasize the need to know more about and respect the force and flow of floodwater. Hopefully, the documentation of floods in the Southeastern States dur ing March-April 1973 will aid the understanding of such flood disasters and will help improve human preparedness for coping with future floods of similar cata strophic magnitudes,

ABSTRACT

The weather system that caused major flooding in the Tennessee, Cumberland, Tombigbee, and adjacent river basins in March 1973, originated over the intermountain region of Western United States. The low system that developed moved slowly across the Great Plains. The associated cold front slowed and became almost stationary across the South eastern States for nearly 3 days, resulting in rainfall in ex cess of 9 inches over much of northern Mississippi, Alabama, and central and southern Tennessee during March 14-18. Ob served point 1- and 2-day rainfall amounts exceeded the 100- year recurrence interval over a large area. Some of the heaviest rains fell in areas located downstream from flood control dams.

Floods during March-April 1973 were the greatest of rec ord on many streams in nine major river basins in seven Southeastern States. The major thrust of the flood extended throughout the central part of the Tennessee River basin and into adjacent basins. Recurrence intervals of peak dis charges exceeded 100 years at 28 streamflow gaging stations.

Major flooding occurred both on streams with flood-control reservoirs and on those which had none. Substantial reduc tions in peak stages and discharges in the Cumberland and Tennessee River basins, attained as a result of reservoir storage regulation, were reported by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Seven lives were lost and total damage reportedly exceeded $60 million.

The report presents an analysis of the storm and rainfall distribution; summaries of flood stages and discharges at 490 streamflow gaging stations, stages and contents of 45 reservoirs, flood crest stages, and hydrograph data consist ing of gage height, discharge, and accumulated runoff at selected times at 92 gaging stations. The availability of aerial photographs obtained during the flood is summarized and flood damages are discussed.

INTRODUCTION

Torrential rains falling within 48 hours or less, March 14-16, 1973, caused severe flooding in the Cumberland, Hatchie, Mobile, and Tennessee River basins in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Ten nessee. Moderate flooding occurred in upstream reaches of the Big Black and Yazoo River basins in

western Mississippi. Although the storm extended into the upper parts of the Cumberland River basin in Kentucky and the Tennessee River basin in North Carolina and Virginia, flooding there was not severe.

The greatest amounts of rain fell along an axis extending from the northeastern corner of Louisiana through northern Mississippi and Alabama into south-central Tennessee. Some of the heaviest rains fell in areas located downstream from the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) large tributary storage reservoirs located on the Clinch, French Broad, Hi- wassee, Holston, and Little Tennessee Rivers.

Peak flows at more than 100 streamflow gaging stations were greater than maximum discharges pre viously recorded. Discharge of the Tennessee River at Pickwick Landing Dam (site 412) on March 17 was the greatest since at least 1867.

Recurrence intervals of peak discharges exceeded 100 years at 28 streamflow gaging stations and ex ceeded 50 years at 25 other gages. Peak discharges were greater than twice those of the 100-year flood on Elk River near Pelham, Tenn., and on Flint River near Chase, Ala. Discharges at both stations were natural flows not subject to regulation by flood- control reservoirs.

Major flooding occurred both on streams with flood-control reservoirs and on those which had none. The area along the Tennessee River between Knox- ville and Chattanooga was the hardest hit. The most severe flooding took place in the city of Chattanooga. The Tennessee River upstream from Chattanooga drains 21,400 mi2 , Streamflow from about two-thirds of this area is regulated by 10 major TVA storage reservoirs on tributary streams and by 3 reservoirs on the Tennessee River main stem. The Chattanooga flood resulted from rainfall on the one-third of the drainage area located between Knoxville and Chatta nooga, which has only limited flood protection from three main (Tennessee) river reservoirs.


The purpose of this report is to present hydrologic data in more detail than those published regularly in annual reports. Included are analyses of the meteoro logical aspects of the storm, stages, discharges, and accumulated runoff of the flood, stages, and contents of reservoirs, flood-crest elevations to define water- surface profiles, magnitude and frequency of peak discharges for comparison with previous large floods, and a summary of flood damage.

METEOROLOGICAL SITUATION FOR THE STORM OF MARCH 14-18, 1973, IN SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES

CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS

PRIOR TO STORM MARCH 10-13

The weather system that caused major flooding through the Tennessee, Yazoo, and Tombigbee Rivers and other rivers of Southeastern United States in the middle of March 1973 originated as a weak low-pressure system over the intermountain region of Western United States on March 11. On the 10th, a weather system crossed the British Co lumbia Coast, with the surface Low decreasing in intensity as it continued moving eastward across Canada. The cold front trailed southward through the Northwestern States; and on the morning of the llth, it crossed central Montana, northwestern Wy oming, the southeastern tip of Idaho, the northwest ern tip of Utah, Nevada, and California. The 500-mb trough associated with this system moved slowly eastward during the 10th. By the morning of the llth, the upper-air trough had split, with the north ern part continuing to move at a fairly rapid rate eastward. The closed circulation at 500 mb associ ated with the surface center that entered the British Columbia coast moved in a more southerly direction, with the center located over central Oregon at 0700 EST on the llth. A trough extended southward from this Low across northern California, with the axis crossing the coast at approximately San Francisco. At the surface associated with this southern part of the trough, a weak Low formed over eastern Nevada on the morning of the llth.

During the 10th and llth, another system that had formed over northern Mexico moved northeastward through the Great Plains region and across the Great Lakes. The cold front extending southward from this low-pressure system and the associated squall lines ahead of the cold front caused moderate rainfall over Southeastern United States on the 10th and llth.

The rainfall from this system provided high soil moisture conditions and thus possibly increased run off from the subsequent storm.

The surface Low that had formed over eastern Nevada on the llth moved to the central Arizona- Utah border by the morning of the 12th. The associ ated 500-mb circulation continued to drift almost due southward to a position along the southern Califor nia coast.

By the morning of the 13th, the low-pressure sys tem at the surface had a large, though not well or ganized, circulation along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains (fig. 1A). From this Low, a warm front extended east-southeastward across the north ern Texas plains and the Louisiana-Arkansas bor der, through Mississippi and Alabama, and off the east coast. Aloft, the 500-mb trough associated with this system extended southward from British Colum bia, along the Washington-Idaho border, through eastern Nevada and western Utah, and into Arizona and New Mexico. Although not well defined, a center was present in the southern Utah region. The flow pattern over Eastern United States was still domi nated by a ridge that extended northward from the Gulf of Mexico (fig. IB). The region where the precipitable water in the column from the surface to 500 mb was over 0.5 inch was restricted generally to just near the frontal system and northward east of the surface Low (fig. IB). Little precipitation was occurring, except in a narrow band right near the gulf, where instability was also present. The insta bility associated with the surface circulation is pres ent over eastern New Mexico and Texas, (fig. 1A).

The measure of instability used in this study was the lifted index. This is defined as the difference, in degrees Celsius, between the observed 500-mb tem perature and the computed temperature that a parcel characterized by the mean temperature and dew point of the 50-mb-thick surface layer would have if it were lifted from 25 mb above the surface to 500 mb. This is one measure of the effectiveness of the atmosphere in lifting air thus causing condensation and precipitation.

THE STORM PERIOD MARCH 14-18

By the morning of the 14th, the Low had moved from the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, be come more intense (the central pressure had drop ped 20 mb), and was located in central Nebraska (fig. 2A). The frontal system, well ahead of the Low, lay along the mid-Mississippi Valley, from southern Illinois southward across the Louisiana-Arkansas

border, and then more southwestward to the Texas gulf coast. At 500 mb, the trough that had been ex tending south and southeastward split into two sep arate Lows. One, directly associated with the surface system, was located over central Nebraska (fig. 25). A second circulation had developed at 500 mb over the California-Nevada-Arizona border. The second Low, as it moved eastward, induced a surface circu lation over southern Arkansas toward the end of the week, prolonging the precipitation. The formation of this second upper circulation and its slow movement eastward indicates that the long-wave circulation was changing slowly. This was a primary factor in the quasi-stationary character of the circulation that was important in prolonging rain in one location.

The circulation around the Low generally induced southerly flow through the entire troposphere over the southern half of the Eastern States on the 13th and 14th. The flow in the lowest levels was primarily from the south and south-southwest, becoming more southwesterly with increasing height. This southerly flow from the Gulf of Mexico resulted in a tongue of high moisture through the Mississippi Valley by the morning of the 14th (fig. 25). The highest precipitable water amounts were centered through Louisiana, eastern Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky. The observed precipitable water on the 14th was about twice as large as the average for March (Reitan, 1960) over this part of the region. There were two regions of maximum instability. One extended along the cold front northwestward from the Gulf of Mexi co to southern Tennessee, across Iowa, Wisconsin, and the Dakotas. The second was around the north ern side of the Low. The wind shear mentioned above was important in maintaining instability over this region. Without continuing instability over the re gion, the rainfall amounts would have been less. Precipitation began on the 14th in Louisiana, north western Mississippi, and western Tennessee and spread through the entire Tennessee Valley and the Mississippi-Alabama region.

The low-pressure system that had been centered over Nebraska on the morning of the 14th continued to move northeastward to over the central Great Lakes by the morning of the 15th; the associated cold front moved eastward much more slowly (fig. 3A). On the morning of the 15th, the front still ex tended across central Kentucky, eastern Tennessee, northeastern Mississippi, and northern Louisiana and into the Texas gulf coast region. As the Low moved from the long-wave trough, it filled 20 mb during this 24-hour period. At 500 mb, the Low cen ter that had developed over the California-Arizona-

Nevada border on the 14th moved eastward to just west of the Continental Divide. This slow movement of the major trough position was an important fac tor in the prolonged rains over Southeastern United States. The position of this trough caused continued southerly flow across the Southern States from the surface up through the 500-mb level in advance of this system and brought a continued supply of mois ture through Southeastern United States. The axis of maximum precipitable water on the morning of the 15th stretched from the Louisiana coast north eastward across the Tennessee Valley. This moisture tongue, in combination with the instability in ad vance of the cold front, caused continued rain in a wide band nearly parallel to the front. The maximum region of instability remained over Louisiana, but instability did increase over a large region extending northeastward into Tennessee, North Carolina, and southern Virginia.

During the evening of the 15th, a secondary Low developed over Louisiana along the front that ex tended from the Great Lakes across the Southeastern States. By the morning of the 16th, it was centered in central Kentucky. Another Low developed along the front in Mississippi (fig. 4A). East and south of this nearly stationary frontal system across the Southeastern States, a continuing southwesterly flow through depth maintained high precipitable water and instability across the Tennessee Valley, Yazoo, and Tombigbee River Basins. Rainfall continued during the 15th and until late on the 16th over most of Southeastern United States.

On the 16th, the two Lows that had formed over the Lower Mississippi River Valley combined and continued to intensify and moved to the northeast and by the morning of the 17th was centered over Lake Erie (fig. 5A). At 500 mb, the trough that had been through the central Great Plains region the day before moved over the Mississippi Valley and de- veldped a new closed circulation centered over the Indiana-Kentucky border. The consistently souther ly component to the flow over the Great Plains for the preceding several days shifted to northerly, bringing cold air in behind the system. This cold stable dry air is evident from the moisture and in stability patterns on the maps of figure 5. The region of high precipitabl© water was restricted to the eastern seaboard. Unstable areas were present only over Maryland and southern Florida. The northerly flow brought an end to the general precipitation late on the 16th, although at a few stations light showers occurred on Saturday, the 17th.

10 FLOODS OF MARCH-APRIL 1973 IN SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES

PERTINENT CHARACTERISTICS

There are three significant characteristics of this storm:

1. The surface front remained nearly stationary for 3 days with some waves of varying intensity.

2. There was a south to south-southwesterly flow in the lowest levels and a southwesterly flow aloft that remained fairly constant during this 3-day period.

3. There was considerable shower and thunderstorm activity throughout the rain period.

The first two items are related to the broad-scale features of the atmosphere. It is impossible to have major rainfall floods over large basins unless these broad-scale features of the circulation are favorable. In this part of the United States, past studies of major storms in the Ohio (Schwarz, 1961) and Mississippi River Valley (Lott and Myers, 1956) and an investigation of the rainfall potential over the Tennessee River Valley (Schwarz, 1965) have shown this particular combination of events to be critical for this region.

RAINFALL

Precipitation from this storm covered nearly the entire Southeastern United States. Over 1 inch of rainfall during this storm period occurred over all of Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia and large parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisi ana, Mississippi, the Carolinas, and Virginia (fig. 6). The band of heaviest precipitation (over 8 inches) extended from northeastern Louisiana across northern Mississippi and Alabama into south-central Tennessee and covered approximately 14,000 mi 2 . The largest storm totals were reported in northern Mississippi, Alabama, and southern Tennessee, with over 70 stations reporting storm totals in excess of 9 inches. The largest amount reported was 12.11 inches at Glens in northeastern Mississippi.

The axis of largest rainfall amounts generally paralleled the orientation of the frontal system and the axis of highest moisture and instability. The rain started earliest at stations closest to the frontal sys tem. Figure 7 shows mass curves of rainfall for Ripley, Miss., Epps 6W, La., and Murfreesboro 5N, Tenn. Rainfall at these stations began on the after noon of the 14th, as the cold front approached from the west-northwest. At Hamilton 3S, Ala., and Cagle, Chattanooga WSO, and Knoxville WSO, Tenn., rain fall did not begin until the morning of the 15th (fig. 8), as the front continued to move southeastward.

Rain continued generally until the afternoon of the 16th.

One indication of the magnitude of the rainstorm is a comparison of observed rainfall amounts with rainfall values for the 100-year return period. Table 1 (at end of report) shows this comparison for the 6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, and 72-hour durations. Values for the 100-year return period were obtained from Weather Bureau Technical Papers No. 40, "Rainfall Fre quency Atlas of the United States," (Hershfield, 1961) and No. 49, "Two- to Ten-Day Precipitation for Return Periods of 2 to 100 Years in the Contigu ous United States" (Miller, 1964). Recurrence inter vals of rainfall in this storm for durations less than 24 hours are generally less than 100 years. Table 2 (at end of report) shows similar data for nonrecord- ing gage stations. The observed data of table 2 are for fixed observation intervals (observation day) and are not necessarily the maximum 24-, 48-, or 72- hour amounts. This should be remembered when ex amining the data. It is apparent, however, that over a relatively large area many stations received 1-, 2-, and 3-day amounts with recurrence intervals greater than 100 years.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF FLOODS

The area affected by the March-April 1973 flood, encompassing most of Tennessee and parts of ad jacent States, is shown in figure 9.

Streams throughout the flood area were flowing heavily at the beginning of March due to rainfall and runoff that had exceeded normal ranges over most of the area during four of the five preceding months. Soils and ground cover were well saturated at the beginning of the storm period, a factor which con tributed substantially to rapidly rising streams and high runoff yields.

Maximum discharge rates at more than half the streamflow gaging stations occurred on March 16, and by midnight on March 17 streams were falling at nearly three-fourths of the stations. In contrast, floodflows temporarily held in storage in reservoirs to reduce stages and discharges and their corres ponding flood-damage potential downstream, delayed peak flows until after March 20 at more than 40 gaging stations some until early in April.

Data at 490 gaging sites are presented in table 3 (at end of report). The first column in table 3 lists a number assigned to each site, for use only in this report. For convenience, these site numbers are used throughout this report in illustrations, tables, and discussions.

Flood data in table 3 are presented in the down stream order used in the annual water resources data reports. Gaging station records are listed in a downstream direction along the main stream, and stations on tributaries are listed between stations on the main stream in the order in which those tribu taries enter the main stream. Stations on tributaries entering above ail mainstream stations are listed before the first mainstream station. Stations on tributaries to tributaries are listed in a similar manner.,

Each gaging station has been assigned a perma nent station number (column 2) conforming to the downstream order. The complete 8-digit number for each station, such as 03433500, which appears just to the left of the station name includes the 2-digit part number "03" plus the 6-digit downstream order number "433500." In this report, the records are listed in downstream order by parts. The part num ber refers to an area whose boundaries coincide with certain natural drainage lines. Records in this report are in Part 2 (South Atlantic slope and Eastern Gulf of Mexico basins), Part 3 (Ohio River basin), and Part 7 (Lower Mississippi River basin).

The location of each site is shown in figure 10. The site numbers on the map correspond to those in table 3.

MAGNITUDE OF FLOOD

Peak discharges at about 20 percent of the streamflow stations were the greatest recorded since the stations were established. However, maximum dis charge rates attained during some earlier great floods were greater than the highest of those re corded during March-April 1973. Figure 11, which relates flood-discharge rates in cubic feet per second per square mile to corresponding drainage areas, provides a comparison of flood discharges in 1973 with those of the greatest floods known in the area. Enveloping curves A and B, defined by the greatest discharges known, and by those of March-April 1973, respectively, indicate that floods generally about 25 percent greater than the highest of those in 1973, had occurred previously. The discharge of the Tennessee River near Paducah, Ky., in 1948 (site 445) the greatest since 1889, and also the discharge in 1973, fall on curves A and B respectively. Both floods were affected by regulation from many lakes in the basin upstream (drainage area 40,200 mi2 ).

FLOOD DAMAGE 13

FLOOD DAMAGE

A comparison of flood damage provides one meas ure of the relative magnitude of floods. It is gener ally not feasible to determine the exact amounts of flood damage for a flood extending over such a wide area and the figures necessarily are estimates. The amounts shown generally are limited to those for communities where flood damages were especially great, and they are included later with discussions of flood conditions in the major river basins.

Estimates of flood damage in the Tennessee River basin were obtained from the Tennessee Valley Au thority (TVA) and those for the Cumberland and Tombigbee River basins were furnished by the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers. Flood damages in the Huntsville, Ala., area in the Tennessee River basin were estimated by the Huntsville-Madison County, Ala., Civil Defense Office. More detailed information pertaining to flood damages may be obtained from those agencies.

Although several communities within the flood area were eligible for Federally subsidized flood in surance under the National Flood Insurance Pro gram administered by the Flood Insurance Adminis tration of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (FIA-HUD), few people living in flood-prone areas in these communities had obtained flood insurance.

FLOOD FREQUENCY

Information on the magnitude and probable fre quency of recurrence of floodflows is needed in the design and location of structures situated on the flood plain to minimize flood losses and to provide a technical basis on which to make flood-plain manage ment decisions.

Frequency of flooding was derived from a statisti cal evaluation of historical records of floodflows from a network of streamflow gaging stations distributed throughout the flood area (fig. 10). The method generally used to determine the flood-flow frequen cies is described by the U.S. Water Resources Coun cil (1967). Recurrence intervals at sites with short flood records were determined from regional flood- frequency relations described in U.S. Geological Sur vey reports on magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States (Barnes and Golden, 1966; Patter- son, 1964; Speer and Gamble, 1964). Recurrence in tervals are not shown at sites on streams materially affected by regulation or diversion.

Recurrence interval, as applied to flood events, is the average number of years within which a given flood peak will be exceeded once. Frequencies of flood flows may also be stated in terms of their probabili ties of occurrence, which are virtually the recipro cals of the recurrence intervals for large floods. Thus, a flood with a 25-year recurrence interval would have a 4 percent chance of being exceeded in any given year, or a flood with a 50-year recurrence interval would have a 2 percent chance of being ex ceeded in any given year. Recurrence intervals are average figures the average number of years that will lapse between occurrences of floods that exceed a given magnitude. The occurrence of a major flood in one year does not reduce the probability of that flood being exceeded in the next year.

In the area of this report, the lengths of available streamflow records are adequate to define reliable flood-frequency relations for recurrence intervals up to 100 years. At some streamflow stations in the Tombigbee River basin in Mississippi, however, re currence intervals are defined only to about 50 years. Where recurrence intervals of the March-April 1973 flood exceed defined flood-frequency relations, the ratio of the flood discharge to that of a 100-year or 50-year flood is shown in table 3.

RESERVOIRS

Many storage reservoirs on both main stem and tributary streams are located in the Tombigbee, Cumberland, Tennessee, and Yazoo River basins.

Substantial reductions in peak stages in the Cum berland and Tennessee River basins, obtained as a result of reservoir storage regulation, were reported by the Corps of Engineers and the Tennessee Valley Authority, respectively.

A summary of stages and contents of storage res ervoirs located in the Tombigbee, Cumberland, Ten nessee, and Yazoo River basins is presented in table 4 (at end of report).

MAJOR RIVER BASINS

MOBILE RIVER BASIN

TOMBIGBEE RIVER BASIN

Severe flooding occurred all along the Tombigbee River upstream from Demopolis lock and dam near Coatopa, Ala., (site 71). In the reach between Amory, Miss, (site 31), and Gainesville, Ala. (site 65), the flood was the greatest since 1892 (table 3). Recurrence intervals ranged from more than 50 years at Bigbee, Miss, (site 20), in the upper part of the basin, to more than 100 years at Gainesville, Ala. (site 65). Downstream from Demopolis lock and dam (site 71), recurrence intervals were only slight ly more than 10 years.

The Buttahatchee River, a major left bank tribu tary flowing into the Tombigbee River downstream from Aberdeen, Miss., recorded peak discharges gen erally greater than 100-year floods, whereas 20- to 80-year floods occurred on other larger tributaries. On the smaller streams, recurrence intervals of peak discharges generally were less than 20 years.

Hydrographs of discharge of the Buttahatchee River March 14-24, at gaging stations near Sulli- gent, Ala. (site 39), and near Aberdeen, Miss, (site 40), are shown in figure 12.

The Lewis Smith Reservoir (site 68) located on Sipsey Fork of Mulberry Fork of Black Warrior River regulates flow from 944 mi2 or about 20 per cent of the drainage basin of Black Warrior River at Tuscaloosa, Ala., (site 70). The regulated area repre sents only about 6 percent of the drainage area of the Tombigbee River at Demopolis lock and dam near Coatopa, Ala. The storage increase in Lewis Smith Reservoir (site 68) March 15-18, about 132,000 cfs-days, is considered to have had only a minor effect on the peak flow of Tombigbee River.

Flood damage in the Tombigbee River basin in Mississippi was concentrated largely in the reach extending downstream from Fulton through Colum bus, in Itawamba, Monroe, and Lowndes Counties. Damages along the main stem and primary tribu taries in this area were estimated by the Corps of

Engineers, Mobile, Ala., at more than $15 million. About three-fourths of the flood damage occurred in urban areas. Flood damages in the city of Columbus, Miss., excluding the Columbus Air Force Base, were estimated at more than $6 million.

PEARL RIVER BASIN

Moderate flooding occurred in the upper part of the Pearl River basin, but record-breaking dis charges were not approached. The discharge of the Yockanookany River at Kosciusko, Miss, (site 83), a 25-year flood, was exceeded in 1951. Elsewhere in the basin flooding was not significant.

OHIO RIVER BASINCUMBERLAND RIVER BASIN

The central part of the Cumberland River basin received the heaviest rains and the most severe flood ing. In contrast, only moderate stages occurred in the upper part of the basin in Kentucky and flooding there was not significant. From Nashville, Tenn. (Davidson County), east to Jamestown (Fentress County) precipitation ranged from 3 to 8 inches. The heaviest rainfall amounts in this area fell in the southern part around McMinnville (Warren Coun ty), Sparta (White County), and Woodbury (Can non County).

On the Collins River near McMinnville, Tenn. (site 117), a tributary of Caney Fork upstream from Center Hill Lake, the peak discharge, a 50-year flood, was second to that in 1929. The flood in 1929 had reached approximately the same stage as that in 1854.

Floods of 50-year recurrence intervals occurred on both East Fork and West Fork Stones River up stream from J. Percy Priest Reservoir. Peak dis charges on East Fork at both Woodbury (site 130) and Lascassas, Tenn. (site 132), were the greatest since 1902. The storm produced two significant peaks about 24 hours apart, March 15 and 16, on both forks, the highest peak occurring on March 15. The difference in stage of the two peaks, at the Lacassas gage, was less than one-tenth of a foot.

Only minor overflows of low-lying flood plains oc curred in metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County, Tenn. Rainfall in this area totalled only 3 to 5 inches (fig. 6), and major floods did not develop. Recurrence intervals on the four larger tributaries in the vicinity of Nashville did not exceed 5 years.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville Dis trict, reported that major flooding from the Cumber land River, which flows through Nashville, was abated by storage in five major flood-control reser

voirs upstream. At the gaging station on the Cum berland River below Old Hickory (site 129), located 11 miles upstream from Nashville, the stage and discharge of the March-April 1973 flood has been exceeded seven times since closure of the Old Hickory Dam in 1954. Data in table 5, furnished by Corps of Engineers, shows the reduction in stages and dis charges at selected points along the Cumberland River resulting from flood-control operations. At Carthage, Tenn. (site 123), a potential flood peak of 60.2 feet was reduced more than 28 feet, to an actual flood crest of 31.8 feet (table 5).

Property damage in the Cumberland River basin, largely from overflows of tributary streams, was estimated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at less than one-quarter of a million dollars.

Murf reesboro, located along the West Fork Stones River in Rutherford County, Tenn., was the most, severely damaged urban area in the basin. The old sewage disposal plant on the Nashville Highway and some settling basins in the Central Water Plant were inundated. The new sewage plant, the Joe W. Lovell Water Pollution Control Facility, was not threatened.

TENNESSEE RIVER BASIN

The flood of March-April 1973 in the Tennessee River valley was characterized by heavy rainfall and high runoff yields. The combination of high ante cedent streamflow, saturated soils, and intense rain fall quickly produced widespread flooding.

The central part of the basin received from 5 to10 o.ooo c

10 inches of rain generally, and greater amounts locally, within 48 hours, March 15-17. Runoff yields exceeded 8 inches over some smaller basins. At streamflow gaging stations Shoal Creek at Law- renceburg, Tenn. (site 397), drainage area 55.4 mi2 , and Chisholm Creek at Westpoint, Tenn. (site 398), drainage area 43.0 mi2 , runoff during the period March 14-18, 1973, was 8.7 and 9.8 inches, respectively.

High runoff yields are illustrated in figure 13 showing hydrographs of floodflow, mass rainfall, and mass runoff at gaging station on Little Chicka- mauga Creek tributary near Ringgold, Ga., (site 330, drainage area 3.36 mi2 ).

The total runoff at the station represents an aver age runoff of 7.75 inches over the basin, 98 percent of the total point rainfall catch of 7.94 inches. Repre sentative basin rainfall may be somewhat greater than the measured point rainfall, with a correspond ing reduction in percentage of runoff.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) operates a complex system of hydropower-flood control dams and reservoirs in the Tennessee River basin. Reduc tion in peak stages at selected points on the Tennes see River and its tributaries, Watauga River, South

Fork Holston River, and Elk River, resulting from flood control operations during the March-April 1973 flood are reported by TVA in table 6 (Tennes see Valley Authority, 1974).

Detailed information pertaining to the operation of the reservoir system may be obtained from the Tennessee Valley Authority.

TENNESSEE RIVER UPSTREAM FROM WATTS BAR DAM

FRENCH BROAD RIVER BASIN

In the French Broad River basin, outstanding floods were confined mostly to the Pigeon River and its tributaries in Tennessee. The peak flow of Pigeon River at Newport (site 184) was the greatest since the larger flood of 1902, and the flow on West Prong Little Pigeon River near Pigeon Forge (site 196) was the greatest since records began in 1946. At both sites, recurrence intervals of the flood were about 80 years.

1973 and flooding generally was limited to minor overflows, both on uncontrolled streams and on those affected by flood control reservoirs.

LEFT BANK TRIBUTARIES TO FORT LOUDOUN LAKE AND WATTS BAR LAKE

Flood magnitudes on left bank tributaries flowing into Fort Loudoun Lake and Watts Bar Lake were the greatest of record at some streamflow gaging stations in unregulated upstream reaches near the North Carolina border. Peak discharges on Little River above Townsend, Tenn. (site 233), and Sweet- water Creek near Loudoun, Tenn. (site 262), were the greatest since records began in 1964 and 1954, respectively. Recurrence intervals of peaks at both sites exceeded 100 years. Peak flow of Tellico River at Tellico Plains, Tenn. (site 254), tributary of Little Tennessee River, was greatest since records began in 1926 and was the second greatest known since the historic flood of May 1840. Recurrence in terval of the discharge at Tellico Plains was 85 years. Elsewhere in the area, recurrence intervals generally were less than 15 years.

CLINCH RIVER BASIN

Substantial floods occurred on some unregulated reaches of Clinch River and its tributaries but, in general, discharges were less than those in March 1963. Upstream from Norris Lake, the peak flow of Clinch River above Tazewell, Tenn. (site 271), re currence interval 40-years, had been exceeded in both 1862 and 1963. Norris Lake stored all flow during the period March 14-19 (Tennessee Valley Authori ty, 1974). The discharge on Bullrun Creek near Halls Crossroads, Tenn. (site 281), a tributary entering Clinch River downstream from Norris Dam, was double that of the previous record flood in March 1963.

TENNESSEE RIVER, BETWEEN WHEELER DAM AND WATTS BAR DAM

Although outstanding floodflows occurred on some tributary streams in the upstream part of the Ten nessee River basin, the major flood thrust extended throughout the central part of the basin, down stream from Watts Bar Lake.

Peak flows and stages on many tributaries to streams entering Chickamauga Lake downstream from the Hiwassee River were the greatest ever re corded, and recurrence intervals exceeded 100 years at many gaging stations.

Chickamauga Lake near Chattanooga, Tenn. (site 327), reached a stage of 686.10 feet on March 18, 0.73 foot higher than the previous maximum in 1950.

(site 326), and on North and South Chickamauga Creeks (sites 328-331) located south east of Chattanooga, Tenn., near Ringgold, Ga., ranged from 1.7 to 4 times those previously recorded. Recurrence interval on Little Chickamauga Creek (site 329) was 50 years. At the other stations, peak discharges ranged from 1.3 to 1.8 times those of 100-year floods.

Discharge hydrographs for the period March 15- 19, 1973, on Oostanaula Creek (site 323), Wolftever Creek (site 326), and Sugar Creek (site 328), are shown in figure 14.

Much destruction and extensive inundation occur red along the Tennessee River and its tributaries in the vicinity of Chattanooga, Tenn. (fig. 15). The peak stage of 38.98 feet at the gaging station (site 334) was the maximum since 1939 when the gage was moved to its present location. At the Walnut Street Bridge, located 3.5 miles downstream from site 334, the stage on March 11, 1867, was 57.9 feet,


about 21 feet higher than that in March 1973. The unregulated peak discharge in 1867 was 1.7 times the regulated peak flow in 1973. Storage in flood control reservoirs is credited with a reduction of 15.5 feet (table 6) in the stage of the Tennessee River at Chattanooga (Tennessee Valley Authority, 1974).

The maximum level of Nickajack Lake on Tennes see River at Nickajack Dam near Jasper, Tenn. (site 336), located 46 miles downstream from Chicka- mauga Dam, was a foot lower than the maximum stage in 1969.

HIWASSEE RIVER BASIN

Several reservoirs regulate flow of the Hiwassee River and its tributaries, Nottely, Toccoa, and Oco- ee Rivers. Upstream from McFarland, Tenn. (site 313), only moderate discharges occurred on the Hiwassee River. Below McFarland, however, heavy rains resulted in maximum flows of record on Hi wassee River, South Chestuee Creek, and Oostanaula Creek.

Above Charleston, Tenn. (site 321), where the flow is subject to regulation by six reservoirs in the basin upstream, the stage was 4.81 feet higher than and the discharge 1.7 times that of the previous record flood. The peak flow on South Chestuee Creek near Benton, Tenn. (site 322), recurrence interval 65 years, was 2.9 times that of the 1961 record flood. On Oostanaula Creek near Sanford, Tenn. (site 323),

and Brymer Creek near McDonald, Tenn. (site 325), peak discharges were the greatest since records be gan in 1955. Recurrence intervals of peak discharges were 95 years and 80 years, respectively.

SEQUATCHIE RIVER BASIN

The flood on the Sequatchie River near Whitwell, Tenn. (site 338), was the greatest since records be gan in 1921, but the stage was about 1 foot lower than that reached in March 1867. Peak discharges in March 1973 at other gages in the basin Little Brush Creek near Dunlap, Tenn. (site 337), and Brown Spring Branch near Sequatchie, Tenn., (site 339) exceeded those of the previous record flood in March 1963.

WHEELER LAKE TRIBUTARIES PAINT ROCK RIVER AND FLINT RIVER

The floods on Paint Rock River near Woodville, Ala. (site 343), and Flint River near Chase, Ala. (site 348), right bank tributaries to Wheeler Lake, were the greatest recorded since at least 1935 and 1929, respectively. At both stations, peak stages were about 2 feet higher than those on March 12, 1963. Maximum discharge on Paint Rock River was 1.32 times and on Flint River 2.09 times the discharge of a 100-year flood.

Severe flooding occurred on tributaries entering Wheeler Lake from the right bank in the reach be tween Flint and Elk Rivers. Recurrence intervals of peak flows were well over 100 years. Discharges on Huntsville Spring Branch and its tributaries, par ticularly Pinhook Creek (sites 354, 358, 360), drain ing about 50 mi3 in the vicinity of Huntsville, Ala., ranged up to 1.52 times that of a 100-year flood. Peak flows on Indian Creek near Madison, Ala. (site 369), and Limestone Creek near Athens, Ala. (site 371), were nearly twice those of previous record floods (fig. 16).

ELK RIVER BASINThe magnitude of the March 1973 flood in the Elk

River basin was among the greatest in the storm area, and record peak discharges occurred at most gaging stations on the Elk River. At four long-term gaging stations, Elk River near Pelham, Tenn. (site 377), unregulated flow, and Elk River near Estill Springs (site 380), above Fayetteville (site 384) and near Prospect, Tenn. (site 390), regulated flow, the ratio of the peak discharge to that of an unregu lated 100-year flood, ranged from 1 to 2. The highest ratio (2.04) occurred at the Pelharri gage located up stream from Woods and Tims Ford reservoirs. Hy drographs of discharge at gaging stations on the Elk River are shown in figure 17.

At Fayetteville (site 384) the peak discharge ex ceeded all previous floods known. The discharge, 41,600 ft3/s was 12 percent greater and the stage 1.1 foot higher than the previous record flood in 1842.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (1974) indicated that the flood on Elk River would have been greater had it not been for flood storage in Woods and Tims Ford reservoirs, and they reported that flood storage

in Tims Ford reservoir reduced the peak stage at Fayetteville 5.5 feet (table 6). For nearly 24 hours prior to the peak at Fayetteville, there were no re leases from Tims Ford dam, located about 40 miles upstream. Tims Ford reservoir regulates flow from about two-thirds of the drainage area upstream from Fayetteville, and the runoff which caused the record peak discharge at Fayetteville originated mostly

WHEELER LAKE AND WILSON LAKE

Wheeler Lake (site 393) and Wilson Lake (site 400) on the Tennessee River in Alabama, were filled to elevations of 555.94 feet and 508.00 feet, respec- tivly, slightly lower than their previous maximum stages. Discharge of the Tennessee River at Florence, Ala. (site 401), consisting almost entirely of releases from Wilson Dam located 2.7 miles upstream, was 530,000 fts/s, 20 percent greater than the historic unregulated flood of record in 1897, and 26 percent greater than that in 1867.

PICKWICK LAKE AND TRIBUTIARIES

Discharges on almost all tributaries entering Pick wick Lake were the greatest of record and their re currence intervals exceeded 100 years at many gag ing stations. Peak flow of Cedar Creek near Pleasant Site, Ala. (site 409), was more than double, and that on Little Bear Creek near Halltown, Ala. (site 410), nearly triple the previous record flows in 1969.

Pickwick Lake at Pickwick Landing Dam, Tenn. (site 412), was filled to an elevation of 418.48 feet, 1 foot lower than the maximum of record in 1944. Peak discharge release through Pickwick Landing Dam, (site 413) reported by TVA, was 585,000 ft3/s, 1.3 times the maximum (unregulated) discharge of record in 1897. Although the discharge at Savannah was greatest in 1973, the peak stage was 5.1 feet lower than that in 1897. The gage house standing on top of the downstream end of the lock wall at the dam was partially submerged during the flood.

KENTUCKY LAKE TRIBUTARIES

DUCK RIVER BASIN

The Duck River, which originates in the vicinity of Manchester, Tenn., in an area adjacent to the Elk River basin, was not subject to flood control regulation.

The areal distribution and timing of intense rain fall and tributary floodflows occurred in a pattern which resulted in the greatest flood discharge at Columbia, Tenn. (site 427), since 1847. A flood in 1948 reached a stage 2.44 feet higher than that in 1973, but the discharge in 1948 was slightly less. The

Duck River began rising March 14 at Columbia, and the discharge remained greater than the mean an nual flood of 24,800 ft3/s, for 6 days. Hydrographs of discharge, March 14-24, 1973, at selected gaging stations on the Duck River are shown in figure 18.

Recurrence interval of the peak discharge was about 100 years at Columbia but less than 50 years at gaging stations elsewhere along the Duck River. Peak flows on Weakly Creek near Rover, Tenn. (site 424), and on Big Bigby Creek at Sandy Hook, Tenn. (site 429), were nearly double those of 100-year floods. In general, floods in 1955 and 1967 were greater than those in 1973 on the smaller tributaries.

Floodflows along Buffalo River (sites 434 and 440), a major tributary to Duck River, did not ap proach previous record discharges.

KENTUCKY LAKE

Kentucky Lake at Gilbertsville, Ky. (site 444), was filled to an elevation of 369.01 feet, the highest stage of record since storage began in 1944. The discharge of the Tennessee River near Paducah, Ky. (site 445), consisting entirely of releases from Ken tucky Dam, located less than a mile upstream, was 359,000 ft3/s, 72 percent of the maximum discharge of record in 1948.

FIGURE 18. Hydrographs of discharge, March 14-24, 1973, at selected gaging stations on the Duck River in Tennessee.


FLOOD DAMAGE IN TENNESSEE RIVER BASIN

In the Tennessee River basin, areas in Hamilton, Marion, Lincoln, and Maury Counties in Tennessee and Madison County in Alabama suffered the most destruction. Seven lives were lost. Damage was se vere and widespread, affecting homes, schools, in dustries, railroads, and highways. Although many agricultural lands were flooded, crop damage was minor due to the earliness of the season. Property damage in the basin was estimated at more than $50 million by the Tennessee Valley Authority.

The reach along the Tennessee River between Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tenn., suffered the most heavily in property damage and personal losses.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (1974) reported that the most extensive flooding and flood damage along any Tennessee River tributary stream during March 1973 occurred in the watershed of South Chickamauga Creek.

Upstream from the Tennessee-Georgia State line, flood damage in South Chickamauga Creek and ad jacent basins in Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, and neighboring counties in northwestern Georgia, was estimated by the Georgia State Department of Civil Defense at nearly $6 million.

In Chattanooga and surrounding Hamilton Coun ty, property damage was estimated by the TVA at $35 million of which $23 million was caused by over flow from the Tennessee River and $12 million from South Chickamauga Creek. The Chattanooga Mu nicipal Airport (Lovell Field) was inundated and damaged to the extent of more than $1.25 million, when levees were overtopped. Eastgate Shopping Center and Brainerd High School were two other large installations inundated in the Chattanooga area. About 11,000 acres within the City of Chatta nooga, 21 percent of the city's total area, were flooded, together with 2,000 acres in the nearby urban area. Interstate Highways 24 and 75 were flooded, along with motels, utilities, 524 businesses, and 2,400 homes. In the Tennessee River valley be tween Chattanooga and Knoxville, an estimated 8,000 people were evacuated and as many as 2,000 people in Chattanooga were temporarily out of work.

In northwestern Alabama, flood damage in the Tennessee River basin was extensive in Colbert, Franklin, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madi

son, and Morgan Counties. Much of the downtown business district in Huntsville, in Madison County, was flooded and long segments of Memorial Park way, the main north-south traffic artery, were inun dated. Overflow of Huntsville Spring Branch and its tributaries resulted in damages estimated by the Huntsville-Madison County Civil Defense Office at about $4.6 million to businesses in the City of Hunts ville and about $3.5 million to Madison County homes.

Farther downstream in the Tennessee River basin, Fayetteville, in Lincoln County, Tenn., located along the Elk River, suffered damage estimated by TVA at more than $1 million.

In the city of Columbia, in Maury County, Tenn., estimates of flood damage along the Duck River were made by the Tennessee Valley Authority, and esti mates of flood damage along Little Bigbee Creek, a tributary flowing through the Valewood subdivision of Columbia, made by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, ap proached $1 million. Damages were divided about equally between the areas inundated by each stream.

LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER BASIN

HATCHIE RIVER BASIN

Streams tributary to the Mississippi River in western Tennessee were flowing at relatively high levels all spring, but the floods in March-April 1973 resulted in a record flood only on the Hatchie River at Bolivar, Tenn., (site 447). The peak discharge of 61,600 ft3/s was the greatest recorded since records began in 1930. Much of the water contributing to the Hatchie River flow came from headwater tributaries in Mississippi which drain areas that received 6 to 8 inches of rain within 24 holurs.

YAZOO RIVER BASIN

Moderate flooding occurred over much of the Yazoo River basin in Mississippi. Peak discharges on Yalobusha River south of Calhoun City, Miss, (site 466), and on Big Sunflower River northwest of Sun flower, Miss, (site 480), however, were the greatest since 1948 and 1918, respectively. Corps of Engi neers flood-control reservoirs on Little Tallahatchie, Yocona, Coldwater, and Yalobusha Rivers, tribu-

FLOOD-CREST STAGES 27

taries to the Yazoo River in northern Mississippi, were filled to their highest levels since storage be gan, to minimize flooding downstream.

Total runoff of Tallahatchie, Yocona, and Yalo- busha Rivers below the Corps of Engineers flood control dams, Sardis (site 457), Enid (site 460), and Grenada (site 470), during the period March 13 to April 14, 1973, was 10.12, 11.48, and 10.07 inches, respectively. Of these total amounts, only 4.06 inches passed Sardis Dam and 3.15 inches passed Enid Dam. Similarly, only 1.73 inches passed Grenada Dam, and most of this flow was via the emergency spillway.

Runoff of Coldwater River at Arkabutla Dam (site 463) during March 13 to April 14, 1973, was only about 4 inches, much less than the runoff from the other reservoirs.

BIG BLACK RIVER BASIN

Peak flows on the main stem of the Big Black River in Mississippi were the greatest since records began in 1936 but had been exceeded by earlier floods. At Pickens, Miss, (site 487), stages in 1926 and 1930 were nearly a foot higher than that in 1973. Flood discharges on tributary streams in Big Black River basin generally were not outstanding.

FLOOD-CREST STAGES

Flood-crest stages at points not gaged by the U.S. Geological Survey were obtained by the Tennessee Valley Authority and by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Flood-crest stages provide a means to determine the extent of overflows. They are particu larly useful in locating future construction above the flood levels of March 1973 and in land-use manage ment of flood plains.

Records of flood-crest stages in the Cumberland River basin and in the Big Black River basin, col lected at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, are pre sented in table 7, at end of report. More detailed in formation may be obtained directly from the Corps of Engineers. Points of measurement are referred to the distance in miles upstream from mouth of stream and the corresponding elevation in feet above mean sea level.

Flood-crest elevations at U.S. Geological Survey gaging stations may be determined from informa tion shown in table 3, "Summary of flood stages and discharges," by adding the gage height of the flood to the datum of gage above mean sea level, where the datum is known.

The Tennessee River Valley Authority has ob tained crest stages along the main stem of the Ten nessee River and along many of its tributaries. The streams are listed in table 8, at end of report, togeth er with the location of the ends of each reach identi fied by their distances upstream from the mouth. Flood-crest elevations and other detailed informa tion may be obtained directly from the TVA.

FLOOD HYDROGRAPH DATA

Gage height, discharge, and accumulated runoff at selected times during the flood at 92 gaging stations are shown in table 9, at end of report. The period covered begins prior to the start of the major rise and extends to the end of the gaged records or to an arbitrary cutoff point on the recession, when the dis charge approaches that of the antecedent flow. The intervals selected for presenting momentary stage and discharge information provide sufficient detail to reliably define the flood hydrograph. Depth of run off is expressed in inches over the drainage area.

AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Aerial photographs were taken at or near the crest of the flood on several streams in the Tombig- bee, Cumberland, and Tennessee River basins during the period March 18-22, 1973. The photographs are useful in the identification of inundated areas.

Flight lines along streams where aerial photo graphs were obtained are listed in table 10, at the end of the report, together with their flight heights and types of film used (black and white, color, or color infrared film). The approximate locations of the flight lines described in table 10 are shown in figure 19.

Photographs along the Tennessee River between Guntersville and Florence, Ala., (line 41-42) and along Paint Rock River, Flint River, and Indian


Creek (line 43-44) were obtained by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Elsewhere, the photographs were obtained by the

U.S. Geological Survey. The photographs are on file in the field office of the U.S. Geological Survey, Huntsville, Ala.
