That picture doesn’t tell the whole story. The ground around the spillway is severely eroded, and that erosion is growing. If it either undermines the ground behind the spillway, or undermines the dam itself (less likely), then there will be little left to hold back the lake. The land will give way and the water will come FAST!

That’s what I’ve been wondering. Will the whole lake go if that spillway fails?
