From our local paper today. http://www.orovillemr.com/general-news/20170227/oroville-dam-operators-stop-flow-down-spillway-see-extensive-damage?source=most_viewed
We never evacuated as we lived above the dam. It was pretty harrowing though as us folks that stayed behind couldn’t get any food, etc as all the stores were closed for miles around. There was a market opened at Lakeside, but they couldn’t get any deliveries as roads were closed.
While our experience was nothing to the level of those that experienced Tornados or Hurricanes or actual floods, it was still something to think about.
Gov wants money from the Feds to fix the damage. Why did the state vote for billions for this very thing? What a mess and us locals are none to happy about it.
People outside of KaliPorno intend to block federal funds, and rightly so.
California is a disaster, anyone living there who thinks otherwise is just living in denial.
The money for basic infrastructure was raided and squandered long ago... they don’t upkeep jack, they act surprised when it eventually bites them on the arse.
They haven’t built any new acquifers in decades or electrical generation etc etc etc in spite of the population exploding and some of the higest state taxes in the nation.
California is a poster child to government malfeasance and mismanagement. If you have the ability, get the hell out
