Look at the news ...the small dam above the town is about to breech. Town being
evacuated. BBC news what a terrible thing to have to endure. Rob Foster aka
centralheatking
 
Does seem to have been undermined though, which is worrying.
Apparently it is very old 1800s dam with earth banks unlike modern dams according to BBC

Weather with me dry and sunny thankfully
I did just say to the missus, if the top of the bank has started to go. I wouldn’t be surprised if there had been movement underneath.

The film taken from helicopter of entire area is frightening to see the dam filled to brim and how high the dam is in comparison to the many homes nearby
 
I do not think that the global warming experts ever advised about this..they told us sea levels would rise..in actual fact the heat is making much more water being picked up out at sea ..and then dumped inland
as we seem to witness
