YouTube videos often have ads built into them. I am not a gold bug.
I have been watching the Three Gorges Dam for some time now, and found that - suddenly - the Chinese source had no new data. No news is bad news when that happens in a totalitarian state. The country's leaders are in hiding and no one wants to visit a truly flooded area.
Internet chatter shows that some people assume the Three Gorges Dam will fail. The water and silt are backed up, all the way to their major Western city - Chonqing - (the tail waters of the dam). That build up continues, even with the dam discharging horrendous amounts of the headwaters, the very flaw the original dissenting scientist, a hydrologist, declared repeatedly. That may soon wipe out Wuhan, east of the dam.
Heavy rains continue and they usually last in China into August.
If the Three Gorges Dam holds, the losses will still be catastrophic.
Rehwinkel wrote a great book on the Genesis Flood. He offered a lot of modern examples of the power of water. The video above is a small indication of that, and it is staggering.

| Headwaters discharge and provide electricity, but the enormous volume and speed of the water is now adding to flood problems east of the dam, toward Wuhan. |
