Heard that the worst threat of overtopping from the north should be over within an hour or so. Still a danger from the west for longer, because of the wind shifting from that way, the theory of lots of Lake P water being pushed SW and S into the spillway, and the west side levee being the lowest at 10'.
Hopefully it won't overtop.

That's good news, but my concerns prioritize breaches above topping, though both are would be far worse than wave topping.
Until those levels go down and the levees resume a consistency with more integrity than toothpaste, I won't rest easy. We're seeing imagery of 3' of ponding downtown now, any additional water will be competing for space with that.
