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.
usbr 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.
