K, that's what I thought I saw, but I have so many windows open here, I'm not sure what day it is. So...damaged dam, no major inflow to the reservior, damage is not from high water, unless....unless the lake itself absorbed all the rain....and....they know that the inflow isn't going to be high and yet....they are evacuating downstream....that indicates something about the extent of the damage...

From what I'm told by locals, the release after a heavy rain isn't unusual. What is unusual is the report of possible damage.

The NWS report shows what appears to be a carefully selected release rate, with flood levels worts near the release (of course) and down to 2' above flood level by the time it gets to Liberty, and 1 foot at Moss Bluff.
