Heaven forbid that I had to make that decision but it is what I would do. Test the backup system in a real world scenario. Problem is it failed.But, it only failed long enough to determine that it was failing and that there might be ways to bolster it so that it won't fail too quickly in the future. Oh, and it failed long enough to move almost 200,000 people out of their homes temporarily.

True, they bought some time and gained some data. I can tell you that their repairs to the “auxiliary” spillway won't make it through 24 hours if it significantly tops again. The rip-rap rocks are not big enough to stop it - they will only buy a few hours. This is a slow motion train wreck in the making.
