Interesting. Hasn’t your lake been very low for several years?
“Per @William Conelly
To all my friends, constituents, the truth about the Oroville Lake facility, if you live near the river or in any low lying areas take precautions move your equipment pick up your basements get some belongings together as there is no controlling of the emergency spill way. Period end of the BS being spread around. There is a good chance declining flows may help but why not be prepared. The out flow over the emergency spillway will be the total of the inflows into Lake Oroville. Again that total is dependant on weather conditions and precipitation. If the weather patterns change with colder conditions more snow or clearing skies we will be OK. But again it must be noted DWR screwed this up. They have lost the historic knowledge that Oroville Lake should be kept below the spillway most of the time as an event where warm rain falls on an above average snowpack may cause a need to use the spillway. It was not supposed to be used this often or so heavily depended upon. So they screwed the volume up to 70 thousand blew it up, then they claimed it was 50 thousand now even 35 thousand at least that is what Sacramento put out today.
So to recap the emergency spillway is going to release water in an UNCONTROLLED volume why take a chance get prepared. The season isn’t over yet neither is the regular spillway fixed and DWR is in charge.”
