'Oroville Dam Will Begin Releasing Water Down Its Heavily Damaged Spillway Again Next Week'

Does anyone else see this showing up on Netflix as a disaster movie next year?

Chump Change for a State like California.

We currently SPEND $69,315,068 DOLLARS Every Single Day just to keep the 3 million Illegal Aliens in this State.

President Trump should tell California to GO POUND SAND when they call asking for money.

Californians bear an enormous fiscal burden as a result of an illegal alien population estimated at almost 3 million residents. The annual expenditure of state and local tax dollars on services for that population is $25.3 billion.

“Fixing the spillway, which can’t begin until after spring runoff ends, is expected to cost over $200 million

3 Days without an Illegal Alien covers the Entire Cost.

Incompetent morons running the show there. By now that washout could have been formed up, pinned to the bedrock and high dollar concreted poured.

Hopefully the whole thing washes out and Cali quits electing morons.

I just noticed the rainbow in the first picture. Not unusual with so much mist. But my mind wants to see a good sign in it. Still, it’s CA where the word probably first got co-opted . . .

When did this spillway graduate to be the "primary" spillway?

As I understand it, it has always been the emergency spillway, not used for decades.

Which is it? The primary (main) spillway is off to the left as the site has been shown in most photographs.
