The news is currently reporting that the water is no longer running over the top of the emergency spillway, but is still leaking through the hole that is lower down in that area.
They are letting water out of the main spillway at the maximum rate they can, which is currently letting water out of the lake faster than it is inflowing into the lake.
Whether they can keep up this higher outflow may depend on the continuing damage and erosion that is occurring on the main spillway. They are in a race with time to lower the water level before the next storms arrive on late Wednesday. The spokesman says the ideal target would be to get the level down 50' from the top. This will be an ongoing story.
