Thanks for posting. I was very pessimistic when I saw what was going on originally. The destructive hydraulic power of large volumes of water cannot be underestimated, and it didn’t look good.
Nice post. Very good information. Thanks
Lots of dam damage.
WOW! Amazing video of people fixing things/building things...BIG.

The narrator Juan Browne does a very good job of presenting facts of the situation. Some of the other YouTube reports have a Chicken Little air about them - “It’s the end of the WORLD!!” and obviously they are just out for subscriber hits.
The sheer scale of the damage to the spillway is gigantic. How are they possibly going to fill in the eroded canyon between the broken end of the spillway and the river? It looks like a multiyear project to fix the spillway — can it possibly be done in 6 or 7 months? What state will it be in for the new rainy season starting Oct or Nov 2017?
Thanks for posting.
