I don’t doubt there was some shoring up at that time but I saw them after that in 2008. During the time I was there I drove along the levee areas and ate a restaurants along the river. While they may be better than they were they aren’t built to withstand much river abuse in my opinion as someone who spent a lifetime in construction. They remind me of what we called agricultural levees outside of urban areas in Missouri but in this case they were five miles above suburban areas in Sacramento.

Not wishing anyone any disasters, that’s for sure but I think I want people to have possibilities in their thinking. Plan ahead.

My worry is that if Orville Dam fails we could have a huge wall of water going down the Feather River watershed. Not only will Oroville and Gridley be wiped out, but it could wipe out Marysville and Yuba City downstream and could literally overwhelm the Sutter and Yolo Bypasses, which are already heavily underwater anyway--in short, the long Interstate 5 and 80 viaducts are under threat. And it would threaten Knights Landing, West Sacramento, Woodland, Davis and even Dixon.
