The Panama Canal has closed for the 3rd time in its 96 year history on Wednesday. The canal closed around noon but was in hopes of reopening by nighttime. The heavy downpour was around the Chagres River which helped cause the water at the Gatun Dam to rise. This dam is what creates Lake Gatun, which is a very important player in the Panama Canal. The last time that it closed was back in 1989.
