Good video, even though he’s reached the limit of his camera. :)
It looks like they’re filling and hardening the erosion at the west end of the “emergency” spillway near where it ends by the parking lot. I think they ought to be shoring things up on the parking lot also, to direct the water over the spillway as much as possible. Maybe a job for sandbags, as the surface water, if it gets that high again, would not have a lot of pressure so just sandbagging and re-directing would be sufficient.

From comments: Rob Anderson by the way...i've heard they are draining 5 inches an hour currently...at that rate it will take 5 days to reach their goal of 50 feet. Interesting number they have chosen at 50 feet. Is that how much they are expecting to receive over the next few days? 42 minutes ago bigeric12325 He said it was down by about 6 feet today ,I don't think they can even drain 50 feet from that spillway , the only way would be at the Generation house but I heard it was clogged with debris and not flowing ? or is it fixed and flowing now? 32 minutes ago1 P.B. Theriver The way the landscape is angled at the base of the emergency spillway, it directs the water toward the main spillway which will cause more damage to it or maybe even destroy it completely. 5 minutes ago
