It's about a 400 acre lake, and it lost 15 feet of water when the spillway collapsed. But the neighbors managed to save the day and repair the dam and refill the lake with the help of an 18hp Kubota tractor and several garden hoses.

Hey, look at the good point - they have a lot more waterfront acreage!!

[@MAGApepe]

there aint no water

[@ManMountainMetals]

If that is true, then do ocean front homes have more waterfront footage at low tide than high tide? I'm gonna say no, the water is just further away. Their property boundary didn't move when the water went down either. So they have the same property acreage and the same waterfront footage as before.

[@matthewarnold4557]

I'm confused, if the middle section failed then why did water start flowing over the other two sections a day later??

They are gated. The gate is what failed and they were wanting to take the street off of the center portion.

[@danroberts9050]

I've floated the Guadalupe river many times and when that dam broke I'll bet you some folks in inner tubes got the ride of their lives!!

[@calebz1448]

I'm assuming with the drone footage that they knew it was about to go and would have closed to river to floaters and boaters and possibly evacuated people downstream. The. again all the boats left dry in the lake say they didn't know it was coming and someone with a drone had a fast response. Where I'm from in Missouri we can put in below a dam about an hour before they open the gates and it sure is a ride but they won't let you get too close

[@danroberts9050]

@@calebz1448 Actually I think that the first camera is a security cam and if you look at the water line in the drone footage you can see that a lot of water has already come down and they had some time to get the drone up there.

[@Rickimusic]

The center blows out and whoosh. Next we see one side and then the other side lower than the center. Meanwhile the concrete part of the dam sits there. Then it is cut off and we see boat docks etc high and dry and no water, where it was cut to make it appear there is zero water in the lake. So if no water in the lake, what is flowing over the lowered dam?

[@welshgit]

Yeah, I noticed that with the left and right section. What's going on there? Why did they break once the pressure on them was reduced? Why wasn't that part shown? Seems weird.

[@glenngoetz3054]

The dam failed and it was only 91 years old!!! Three years earlier and four miles away another spillgate failed at Lake Wood. The Water Authority is doing a shoddy job of keeping the infrastructure running smoothly! There should be plenty of money in Texas to keep on top of these things.

[@alexandertaylor2951]

Sorry to see that happen. You have footage of it happening at least. That's tons of work

[@jmr1068204]

When the piece of the dam wall collapsed, you can see at the top of the dam where it forms its own mini lowhead dam in the newly created plunge pool before going completely over the actual dam. Looks dangerous on top and on bottom. The video of the actual fail is on youtube, as well. A camera was on it.

[@RayRaeTV]

I wish I knew what this meant because I've hit "rewind" sooo many times 🤣😭

[@jmr1068204]

@@RayRaeTV The water is circulating back over itself in the little pool at the top before going over the dam completely. So essentially if anything or anyone went over that, it would get trapped because of the recirculating hydraulic in the water (similar to a lowhead dam) and just keeps getting pushed under the water for sometimes hours. This is a video of a lowhead dam: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3usXn-VibCapac The water falls over the dam and down into the water below, then it forms a current that loops back over itself like a loop on a rollercoaster. So if you went over that, the water going over the dam forces you towards the dam and under the water with the current and you might pop up sometimes 10-30 feet downstream from the dam in what is called the boil line (the whole area that is recirculating). When you pop up, the current pulls you back towards the dam to repeat the same thing over and over again. Most people drown within minutes of this process. The guys in that video were rescued, but a lot of people drown. They would have died had that old tree not been washed over to hang onto. It's virtually impossible to swim out of even for good swimmers. The pools are oftentimes very deep, so you can't stand up or get any footing due to anywhere from inches to a foot or sometimes feet of water going over the top of the dam with force so strong that no one can withstand it to swim out. Theoretically, one can swim under the water and away from the dam with the current as fast as possible. If you can get past the boil line that keeps recirculating, you can get out of the dam, otherwise it's certain death.

Well the designer of the damn could have told you 90 years later without proper maintenance the dam could fail, that's literally the point of maintaining something, in America we like to think were safe but actually more than half of bridges and dams are structurally damaged and requires maintenance not being done.

[@lawrencehaguewood5857]

praestant8 Given its design the spillway is part of the dam structure ( Unlike Oreville dam for example) So I can see this as a dam failure. I wonder if there were any indications (visibly and or audibly) before it toppled over.

[@allanc3655]

This is the 2nd old dam to fail on the Guadalupe river ( Lake Wood) .and both dams were under control of the GBRA. Both had gates failure....There are 4 other dams that was built about the same time...Maybe they best up date them all before they give.

what were the consequences downstream? why did the other two sections fail? will they need to replace the dam? why was the dam there to start with? what was its main function? was it just to make a recreational lake? or was it a reservoir? where was the dam located (nation, state, county, city, river)? and why the heck was there none of the basic pertinent facts provided - I do realize some of my questions may not have a real answer yet - but they must know something - this was just very frustrating.

[@Studio2770]

No lives threatened, but property values are. They didn't fail. Not sure, depends if replacement is cheaper than repairing which is very expensive and dangerous. Like most major dams, I think it's for electrical power. It's located in New Braunfels, TX on the Guadalupe river, upstream from Lake McQueeny. I live about an hour away and fished there once, can't fish McQueeny downstream because there's no public access so I'm super bummed.
