Maybe i am missing something but why did they not repair the damaged spillway when they diverted the water to the other one.
They have ways to make concrete set very fast.
Hope no one gets hurt.
You definitely ARE missing something, both spillways are running a raging torrent,....you have concrete that'll "set" under that ?

You be missing something too. They completely shut off the main spillway yesterday to inspect the damage. I suppose that's when he is talking about.
Not a civil engineer, but guessing that any new concrete that would have been poured would have scoured away in minutes. Massive quantities of fast water is pretty powerful stuff.
I'm not saying they could have patched it. Just that yesterday it was completely shut off. No water was coming down it. The pictures I saw showed severe erosion underneath it, along the sides of it, and a hole you could have put several dump trucks in.
