August 8th, 2009 - Typhoon Morakot lashes out at ChiaYi, Taiwan and dumps over a meter of rain on my location, with over 2m in the mountains (and counting!). The dam on the south side of the city is overtopped and incredibly violent. A massive hydraulic jump is visible.

  • Shit I'd raft in that water no problems, but I wouldn't recommend you noobs try it, I'm a trained professional.

  • go jump in mutha fukka

  • this is my b day

  • Good question, I was asking myself the same thing. Based on the type of dam, I think it might have survived the overtopping. Plus, if it had failed someone would have posted the footage!

  • um... I know these guy are helping, but isn't that too dangerous?

  • How terrible!

  • Incredible, and frightening.

    Not to make light of the situation, but is that a Tilley you're wearing?

  • you guys r so crazy standing so close to the water

  • did the dam give way?
