That 30 foot is only a quarter of a TRILLION pounds of water due to the size of the lake. Can’t imagine it would do anything to the impoundment with already an exposed history of rotten rock. As it moves downstream it might move an item or two in its way.

Now, I will concede that we do not know that it will happen. We only surmise that it may happen. I don’t think I am going to dine in one of those charming River front Restaurants on the North side of Sacramento on Wednesday or Thursday.

Not unless they have a drive-up window and you’re in your boat!

And you’re right the 30ft of water isn’t trivial Let’s just hope that the forecasted amounts of rain don’t happen and the main spillway doesn’t fail. I think it can handle the required discharges so long as it holds together.
