I’m sorry, my town (Marysville) isn’t waiting for the governor to come in to rescue everyone. All city buses have been evacuating people from near the river to places of safety since the order went out. Additional staging points have been set up for those who are unable to evacuate themselves, and people are being transported from there to places of safety.
And that’s being repeated across the region.
Though really, if Gov Moonbeam wanted to give a big gigantic boost to the whole ‘Jefferson state’ movement to break up the state of California, he’s done a bang up job throughout this.
So what’s the real situation there?
I’ve heard numbers thrown around that the lake continues to fill at around 40,000 cubic feet per second.
They’re talking about (obviously) turning down the main spillway to under that tomorrow now that they’re under the emergency spillway threshold.
OK. But they still need to keep spilling at 40k... and if it rains more... even more than that.
Just how long are they planning on keeping people evacuated? Until March? What?
I kind of doubt they can drop the lake 30 feet anytime soon with the main spillway looking like that.
I always tell people to be very careful what they pray for.
The people who want secession might get it but under very unpleasant circumstances.
