    I didn't see this in #2019, but I've long been convinced that Prado Dam could fail. I recall at least twice, areas around Chino were alerted to danger, though the Wikipedia article only mentions once. This one is not like many other dams because it is a "dry dam", meaning that there is not a lake being held back by the water.

    So far, I don't believe there's been enough water this year for there to be any risk of failure.
