The erosion on the left side of the spillway was pretty close to the power lines... are they worried that the ground is not stable there? Bad news if so.
Don’t know.
Scanner confirming everyone is off the slope.
PG&E was planning on moving a couple of towers near the base of the spillway, near the river, where erosion has threatened a tower. To the best of my knowledge, those lines were cut and a section removed so that they could do their work and so that the wires were not in the way of other efforts that are or will take place near there.
The very last images I saw of the towers going to the switchyard at the dam showed all the wires intact. The two towers at the left of the spillway might be threatened, but I think that they are stable for now. Maybe they’re planning on moving those also, to safer ground. If they take those wires down, the plant will not be able to generate period.
Of course, it’s not able to generate now due to damming and water issues where the output channel from the dam runs into the debris piled up by the spilling process.
I wish I could see some real-time video.
