1987 Upper Stillwater Dam on Rock Creek in Utah

(Satellite, 80 photos)

I don't think this is actually a flood, but Utah is also relatively wet in 2024. Their reservoirs are full after a couple of years of drought. California has also filled its reservoirs this year. I just checked; Lake Mead got over 1,075' this year. And the plains states are very, very wet.

Upper Stillwater Dam is a roller compacted concrete gravity dam
[I can't believe how little information the Bureau of Reclamation provides. I can't find even the length and height of this dam on this website.]

A fishing website indicates that the dam is over 600' wide and over 200' tall.

It is spilling again in Jun 2024. This video is from 2019.

Normally, the spilled water stays in the stilling basin.
