Jerry Brown’s merry band of bureaucrats have been in charge too long. CA has had several periods much above average rainfall since 1968, not a problem before. DWR waited too long looking at the “hole” in the regular spillway...should have been releasing at 50,000+ CFS all along and fix the spillway later. Now they are behind the curve and doing 133000+ CFS to try and prevent water from going around the end of the emergency spillway.

Lake level is down about a foot since 8am:

Exactly. But why did they place *themselves* behind this 8-ball?

The lake level gage is now at 901.02. The level of the emergency spillway is said to be 901.
