A lot of drift wood keeping flow from happening as it should. Seems like it could have been prevented with maintenance.
Yes. The wood brought my attention too, but the water is still flowing through quite quickly.
The other thing that looks weird to me is the level of water. It looks like it was already too high for this dam before it happened.
All the drift wood caused the water level to rise, moving some flow off to the side versus flowing over as it should. Once erosion off the side starts it’s almost impossible to stop…
Bad choices…bad consequences.
