Christmas photos from the same place. I've seen photos like these before (and more of them), but not these specifically.

That doesn’t look good. I saw that (those?) docks on Yahoo Maps...

From my link above:

Safety experts from Cedar City and with the Governor’s Office and Department of Public Safety examined the dam and found it was holding. Soil on the dam was running off the bank, but the clay core appears stable, engineers said.

Has anyone looked at this “lake”? It is about 30 acres from what I can see on the satellite photos. It may be a problem but probably not a disaster. Water won’t even go through the parks.

It is enough to give you a serious Saturday of yard clean up 50,000 CFS is a lethal volume of water. No force on earth can stop it. It WILL destroy everything in its path if it is remotely confined.

I was being a little satirical. I think the computations made that clear

I could not see that ROCK that is in the picture of the lake behind the dam.

It might be in one of the coves.

It’s a really fun place! You can vacation there and volunteer to help them w/the animals at the same time!

“Several holes have been swept away and others are collapsing from the raging waters of the Santa Clara River”

Spare the nineteenth hole!!!;)

Looking at that picture, I wouldn’t be sleeping in Rockville tonight. If the odds of collapse are one in six, I’m not in the mood for Russian roulette.
