“Anybody know who this guy is on this video and if he’s good?”
Others could answer better than I. IIRC I believe he is a citizen journalist local to Oroville. I did find his youtube information had good and fresh information that is/was very instrumental in getting more context than reading a printed story. This update report revealed an important sense to what officials know about the dam & what the immediate priorities are in emergency fixes.
That key information said much - it was key to me on his “context” of explaining commentary of the ES - i.e. his translation of what he heard via official statements. side: it was important to me considering inside information on recent data + pouring through all of the original construction archives, finite element analysis computer simulations (earthquake survivability), extremely detailed hydraulic fluid flow scale model testing & design modifications, and the trail of “decisions” that led to breaking the main spillway & emergency spillway into two entities (the way it is now vs what they originally had planned).
What do you make of the issue about the power source for the Main Spillway gates?
