What happens to your house if both dams fail? Are you up or down
grade from them?

Our upstairs floor is slightly over two feet upgrade from the upper dam,
the basement floor is about three feet above grade of the lower dam.
Everywhere around the house slopes away from the house at least two feet
in twenty. In rains like these we have steady streams of water flowing
around both sides of the house and into the lower dammed area (someday
I can call it a pond), but at least twenty feet away.
