They're pouring 100,000 cf/s down this busted rear end spillway. Could it break down the hill around it, and lead to further dam failure?

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

This is what it is. People blaming Democrats for failing to maintain the dam, people wishing for liberal death even though there are no liberals in the surrounding area, etc.
I don't give a gently caress what party they are, I don't want my hometown blasted off the map.

The emergency spillway is allegedly level with the water at 900 feet, so spillover has stopped.
