Don Pedro will use their spillway for the first time in 20 years and flood the Tuolumne through Modesto.
They've been draining Shasta for two weeks, but it all depends on how much water drops.
OROVILLE might have room to avoid water over the emergency spillway.
We are expecting between 5.0 and 7.5 inches of rain in the low mountains and foothills. Let's hope it snows above 5,000ft.
The Sacramento River in Sacramento is running approx 230,000cfs after siphoning at least 1/2 off at the Fremont Weir and into the completely flooded Yolo bypass.
Is the drought officially over yet?
Looks like the drought has come to a close. From a city that experienced 3 500 year floods in eight years, Be Safe!
This is great. We need the rain.
It’s amazing how liberals make anything a crisis.

They should be asking how ‘full’ Jerry Brown is.
The big ones (Lexington, Coyote and Anderson) are over 100% full and spilling.
Need to remove all the dams in California and let all that water flow back to the sea like nature intended.

They are wasting all that water?!?!?!
I prayed for California to get some rain....see how powerful my prayer was???!!!!!
