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.

Agreed, regretfully.
