Workers are hoisting giant white bags filled with rocks and at least two helicopters flying them and releasing them in the spillway’s erosion. Dump trucks full of boulders also are on their way to dump their cargo on the damaged spillway.
The barrier at the nation’s tallest dam is being repaired a day after authorities ordered mass evacuations for everyone living below the lake out of concerns the spillway could fail and send a 30-foot wall of water roaring downstream.
Who’s genius idea was it to have advertising videos play automatically?? This is just about the most intrusive form of advertising ever! Please. Just. Stop. Before it is too late.
Too bad the state didn’t repair the dam a decade ago, instead of spending billions of dollars to provide sanctuary for illegal aliens.
I’m with No. 1…. the loud ads are really annoying.
