Anyone have something definitive on OP's claim about the dam?

I hate drive-by posts like this. I ignore most of them, but have personal and professional reasons on worrying about Albany.

I heard it on Fox news, said the Gilboa Damn having a Emergency B Level. Did quick google and found the links below.

Found another thread talking about the damn...
Thread: Gilboa dam MAY have failed

There was another thread about it. The OP on that one wasn't 100% sure when posting, maybe more info now. The thread title included the name of the dam...started with "G" I think.

I heard them mention it on the weather channel a bit ago

Add St. Mary's Lake Dam to the potential Failure list:

St. Mary's County has notified residents downstream from St. Mary's Lake Dam of significant flooding from heavy rains that came along with Hurricane Irene. The county had warned residents that the dam could fail.

Eddie Hopkins, a spokesman for the Maryland Emergency Management Agency, said this morning that the water levels at the dam had reached 68 feet; the dam can fail when water reaches 71 feet. No residents have been forced to leave their homes, and Hopkins said officials at this time do not expect a breech.
