ooohhh baby.. not to mention the consequences of Roosevelt dam failing. it is at the top of the salt river and would cause the failure of two more dams downstream resulting in most of south phoenix being put under water. they were concerned with just that in '79, '80, '81 during one of our 500 year floods. they were letting water go from all reservoirs at max capability (300,000 cfs) and still the water level was rising. i don't remember many people evacuating the area at the time and there would be only about 1 hour warning should the dam fail. human nature seems pretty predictable don't you think?

Had it
been a bit more favorable, the levy would have held and the damage not so
great. Unfortunately, Hurricanes don't take that into consideration.
Me personally?? I'm going to wait a couple of months before I cast judgment
on anyone. I want and hope to get all of the facts before judging anyone's
actions or
judgments. (I'm also concerned about all those who live in the valley below
the
great Hoover Dam)
