Empty buildings, empty streets, empty businesses. It's like a Hollywood ghost town movie set in Oroville, California due to the dam overflow.
I’m surprised the looters haven’t shown up enforce.
in NorCal? Flatlanders tread with caution when in hill country.
Just be grateful you’re not swimming around.
“... the sun goes down alone.”
Just indicative of the race mix in the area
Read that the evacuation has been lifted, people will be back home soon.
Crap video. The moron who shot it should have framed using landscape orientation when shooting landscape. Duh!
Folks are returning home. Some, like us, never left. Was at the Lakeside Market which is near the dam. Hub-bub of activity. Parking lot was full. They had just got a shipment of dairy products and were expected to receive $25K worth of tobacco products. Gotta feed the need I suppose. Cigs and booze are important in a disaster for some folks.
The market was full. It is a small market featuring the Western Family product line. Prices higher than bigger supermarkets, but what are you going to do.
Folks in line were talkative and in good spirits, swapping rumors and scuttlebutt. We were beginning to realize that this could go on for some time. The Sheriff’s briefing today was a welcome relief of something that was quickly becoming a nightmare.
We are applauding our Sheriff. He took charge and cut through the mealy mouth bureacratic (sic) bull dookie and made a command decision. It was the right decision
Remember, folks had to pick up and leave within one hour. What do you do? Where are your kids? Where’s the cat? You spend time getting kid’s their coats and forget to grab medicines. Maybe grab some photos because for all you know, the dam is going to fail and the whole town will be underwater.
Think about it.
All of this results in great teachable moments, to remind and inform that the EnviroWackos want to tear down many, if not all, reservoir dams, and ‘restore’ nature. I plant seeds of thought and investigation in the minds of coworkers and acquaintances. If they themselves look up what the fascist EnviroWackos want to do, it is more effective than just hearing me spout off.
I was watching a live stream and the Red Cross was saying don’t bring your pets.
Trust me when I say there are plenty of Mexicans in the area.
Plennnnty.
the Red Cross is an evil organization.
Lots of FReepers have good stories about their evil, going back to WW2.
Looking at the weather forecast it is likely another evacuation may be in their future.
Appears several inches of rain over the next few days.
Mexicans don’t loot
