stock here: this won’t affect me directly. No time to detail, but the “story” behind all this is quite damming, LOL. At 90 Feet they say this earthen dam will fail. I would call it a spill way, dirt, no cover no concrete, really not even much vegatation / grass to somewhat protect from massive dirt carryoff and failure.

Water is flowing over the dam.
Watch “120-Year-Old Dam in Oahu About to Burst as Residents Experience Worst Flooding in 20 Years” on YouTube.

Keith, good to see you, been some time, I remember many comments at the Cuttlefish. The Dam itself is to the left, it is earthen, and really little grass or vegetation, it would get scoured so fast. This is the spillway, and my prediction was the far side wall of the spillway would get breached with possible underminement and catastrophe.
Thanks for the correction.🙂
This old post has some good links for warching disasters in Hawaii –

Is warching kind of like learing? LOL
