I heard a reporter saying that the water going over that spillway was doing 100,000 cubic feet per second. I have a really hard time visualizing that amount of water. Could also have been a mis-quote by the reporter...
In 2011 when the Army Corps of Engineers mismanaged the six main stem dams on the Missouri River, causing them all to exceed their capacity when the upper-Mo River basin got above-average precipitation in May of that year, they were releasing over 180,000 cubic feet of water per second at the Gavins Point dam in South Dakota. There were a lot of pissed-off people over that. Many people lost their homes. I had to drive damn near 100 miles out of my way for three months to get to and from work... but at least I didn't lose my home.
