The Spillway, not the Damn has suffered major Daage due to unexpected erosion. The flows have currently been halted. That is all the info I have read so far.

868.33' as of 1PM. Outflows were up to 7200cfs from 5000cfs at noon, so they may have gotten the 2nd penstock flowing sometime between 11 and noon.

1PM outflow update isn't up yet.

Do they not patrol the area and inspect it everyday during the rainy season? I guess not, that would take common sense, which is in short supply in California. I don't think it got like that overnight, did it?

They focus on the levy breaks which happen pretty often. I've seen parks there with water over the lampposts, flooding into downtown

Calm seas do not a sailor make,

Actually, apparently it did. It can be seen from the road, and eyewitnesses saw it disintegrate all at once yesterday during a release...

I guess this thread has been replaced by the fool yelling about the end of the world or whatever...

Anyways, just heard on the local news they are releasing a limited 20,000 cfm of water to test the spillway to see how it holds up...

I have a bit of experience with water...like to dig my own ponds on my property. Once the water starts cutting through the damn you ain't stopping it.

five cubic kilometers of water would be 15,000 feet high, 15,000 feet wide, and 15,000 feet long approximately. Just to give you all a picture of what is behind the dam, for now.

5 PM elevation 870.33', river release 25,911 CFS.

Inflow is still over 93,000 CFS. I've been in the ER all day, just got home. Did they decide to just blow away the spillway?
