Just moments after reading this I walked by a TV that’s on mute and saw the Hoover Dam crumbling. Turned out to be a coincidental disaster movie, fortunately.

Seems to have been relatively inconsequential. Fire dept wasn’t even needed, it was out before they arrived so they turned around and left. No one injured.

Hot out there today. Expected temps even hotter by mid week. Let see how many more explode under heat stress.

Good chance.

So, the choice of this particular dam makes sense. Hoover.

A cousin of mine, a construction project manager now, was in a class studying the structure of the World Trade Centre on 9/11, before and during the attacks.

So the upside of drought and Lake Mead drying up is that if the Hoover Dam broke, there would be less flooding?

Perhaps a little pre-cision earthquake right there.
