here is a pic from today
not much more erosion up the hill but on the left side but it seems to be eating more out towards the left/north just at the waterfall
also notice the little stream of muddy water now coming off the hill on the left side just to the left of the main spillway....this is the muddy water the pilots were talking about in my previous post
also notice how the dozed out a road between the dam and the spillway

latest model data in and not good
after a moderate warm one tonight/tomorrow and a moderate cooler one over the weekend .....huge wet warm storm around monday
A wild guess, but I think that the area that they dozed below the dam might serve as a drop area for material that they dredge from the river. Apparently, the spilling of that much water and debris has caused a buildup, a damming of sorts, between the bottom of the dam and the rest of the river, which is preventing them from running the generators.
You can see, in other images, some flat barges in the water right below the substation.
