Not sure about the rest of this but the photo they use (link below) looks to me like photo imaging warping, whether accidental (caused by the atmosphere, though I doubt it) or by using puppet warp on Photoshop:

There’s no way the dam is that deformed and also other elements in the photo look to be deformed as well.
This image is the disturbing one: https://twitter.com/ctdonath/status/1285027190350983169?s=20
As I noted above, the power lines are clear and straight. The dam isn’t.
Ive seen images and video on “CrossroadS with Joshua Phillips“ (youtube) where it definitely is warped. Your image is weird I agree but Ive seen video footage that looks real. They’ve opened gates and flooded out 200000 people downstream, many have died. They are panicked about something.
