It isn't.  They just raised it to 100,000 cfs but it was designed to handle 250,000 cfs.

Forget math, they are bad at general figuring as well.  As the water got near the top of the emergency spillway most people would say "gee figure we should open up the spillway more"?

It's going to fail anyway. The water that's topping the dam onto the espillway is undermining the bottom of the dam.

Sheriff's are the senior agency responsible for inland search and rescue operations in a county.  It's his ballgame now.

Next press conference is in 2.5 hours.

That probably means they are on a 2 hour Planning P cycle.

Before it went dark, you could see what looked like water coming out of the front side of the aux spillway below the weir and all the way across under the parking lot.

That I knew but it sounded like he was saying some water was coming from the dam. That could lead to a much larger problem.

Look at the government response to this, compare it to reality, and burn that into your head. When there's some emergency where you live, REMEMBER THIS. You need to pay attention and look out for yourself. Don't rely on the government or national media for information. Have a plan in case you have to bug out.

they really really dont want the spillway to cut to far around the corner, as it, and the river turbulence could cut into the base of the actual dam structure.

Because there was severe damage to the spillway downstream of the gates.   If it erodes uphill it could damage the dam itself.   They ran it as hard as they thought was safe.    


If the emergency spillway was built correctly  the plan would probably have worked.    

They are getting hit with a triple whammy.

Too much water

failure of the primary spillway

failure of the emergency spillway.


Now they are having to take chances beyond what is reasonable and prudent because they are running out of options.

They can only choose which spillway to erode.

obvious the e spillway was never planned to be used, or at least not in recent years.  It is effectively not a spillway, as it failed with just 12,000 cfs!

Yes.

The day before the flood (Saturday). Corps of Engineers said they had it under control. They didn't divert as much water as they could.

Sunday all hell broke loose.

Putting rocks and concrete there makes no sense theres a granite surface already. Or did they lie about that too?
