Guajataca Dam might fail.


“The dam, built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1929, suffered a “fissure,” Gov. Ricardo Rosselló said in a news conference Friday. An estimated 70,000 people in the municipalities of Quebradillas, Isabela and part of San Sebastian could be affected if the dam collapses, he said. A failure would likely send a massive amount of water from an inland lake along the Guajataca River, which flows north through coastal communities toward the ocean.”

Terrible mess. That dam still holding?

It's still holding as of right now, but there's a chance it might fail.

It's not looking good in PR. I just got a call to go work a security detail.
