| #2 I would think the worst case would be an aftershock that loosens a new slide into the lake. That would basically send a tsunami over the existing dam and possibly breech it all at once. A slumping of the existing dam would be nothing compared to a breech caused by a large slide into the lake behind it. |

| #1 Are there dams down river from this lake? If so, would this have a pancake effect if it goes breaking down every dam in its path as the torrent flows through. Or, is this a case where it "just" spreads out, flooding the surrounding countryside? |
