Its an earthen dam. You come to your own conclusions. And I aint saying that to be a smart ass.
210,000 acre feet of water..
Sacramento has large amounts of its urban area BELOW levies that hold back the river that this water will flow through.
If the dam breaches, there isnt gonna be a good time to be had from that dam all the way to the ocean.
More like 3.5M acre feet of water, not 210K ac ft. Btw we live in the red zone but we aren’t going anywhere. Its more of a danger to downtown then us. No one left in town except for the tweakers looting businesses. Marysville, Yuba City, Linda, Palermo, and a whole host of towns are evacuated. Nearly 180K people. We are sort of level with the dam and not in the path of the water (we hope)
We didn’t hear about the evacuations until around six tonight. Family trying to get ahold of us, but since the last storm the land line is on the blink and cell service is wonky. Flippers and nose clips are at the ready.
