Yes, where in hell will they go?
Where will they eat?
Where will they poop?
Where will they charge their stupid electric cars?
Socialism is insane.
I would have already hooked up our Airstream to the Tundra and headed to the high country, yesterday. By now, I would already be BBQing steaks and watching this stuff on the internet.
Yes but what about Fukushima?
No problem the Federal Govmnt flood insurance is cheap. It is underwritten by us taxpayers that live on high ground.
The CA governor who was in office when the dam was completed and dedicated was the late Ronald Reagan.
Yes, and they were being called “fear mongers” too.
Which feed? KCRA is not reporting any failure.
That water to the right in the picture is not supposed to be there. Main spillway failing first. Now unprotectected part of emergency spill way is eroding. Will be a miracle if it does not fail in a big way.
I don’t remember, but someone informed me that the failure talk was about the main spillway, that big hole in it.
Prayer for you.
maybe all the wonderful millions of cali illegals can help out.
pharaoh moonbeam is getting a small reckoning here.
Thank you.
Yes, my apologies. Bad clickage.

No laz, the failure that DWR is concerned about is at the southerly end of the emergency weir.
The geology there is very “ify”
What network?
KRCR was also posting “failure” of the auxiliary spillway because of the ‘leak’ and potential failure of 30’ of the top of that emergency spillway...
seems “failure” is substituted for ‘leak’ over that part of the auxiliary spillway that was causing sever erosion back towards the main spillway.
currently, they opened up the flow on the mail spillway and have caught up with the incoming amounts of water.
They are now substituting ‘failure’ with ‘overwhelmed’.
Keeping you under the cover of prayer.
Apparantly KRCR because the announcer just said “I shouldn’t have said it was a FAILED emergency spillway.... its more about an OVERWHELMED emergency spillway....”
He’s backtracking.
Reminds me of the Old River Control Structure (Mississippi River) near-fail in 1973.
