Spencer Dam was a run of the river hydroelectric dam on the Niobrara River in Boyd County and Holt County, Nebraska, about southeast of Spencer. The dam was operated by the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD). Heavy precipitation during the March 2019 North American blizzard led to a failure of the dam in the early morning of 14 March, causing heavy flooding downstream.NWSMBRFC tweet on 14 March 2019 with map of the flooding downriver to the Missouri River upon failure, by National Weather Service Missouri Basin River Forecast Center Read more on Wikipedia
