Wonder if the years of drought compromised that hole. Either way, curious to know if they inspected the spillway before they ran that amount of water down.

Elevation: 872.26'

Inflow: 115420 CFS

River Releases: 6070 CFS

I guess they don't like the performance of the broken spillway, but the clock is ticking.
