Check northern California news stations, they’re well covering these dams and rivers.
FYI, we’re not even close to the 1997 floods; this particular river would have to nearly double in volume to reach those stages. And it is quite likely that we will reach those flood stages throughout the state; we’re not even close to finished with our rainy season, and still have a considerable amount of Sierra snowmelt to go (snow is still accumulating in the Sierra Nevadas right now.)
Can there be serious flooding from the snowmelt only?
