Hate being a broken record here, but this book spelled out very clearly how sudden and disastrous the failure of a dam this high would be. I hope people keep an eye on the weather and get out of town if the rains continue.

“Hate being a broken record here,”

You’re not a broken record. I’m just frustrated the news media is more concerned that Trump put them in their place yesterday than concerning themselves with hundreds of thousands of lives being in danger.

Then again, knowing the media...they’re salivating at the thought so they can report on death and mahem :(

Wouldn’t the sudden collapse of almost ANY large dam be something you couldn’t escape from?

We simply assume that there will not be immediate catastrophic failures. Otherwise, you might as well crawl under a rock.
