If only there were downstream dams, then they could use these for flood control. Oops.
Weather does that.
Is this the river where the idiots removed the dam?
Three dams gone. Yep.
Bucket brigade!

Dams
The democretins are messing up Oregon and they spent a lot of money doing it.
Sound familiar?
They should be in charge of nothing!
Idiots!
Iron Gate Dam, the last of the four dams to be built and the farthest downstream near the town of Hornbrook, Calif. 
Copco 1 Dam, the tallest of the four dams at 132 feet high, built in 1918 near the Oregon state line.
Copco 2 Dam, a smaller, 25-foot dam built in 1925 next to Copco 1 
J.C. Boyle Dam in Southern Oregon, named after engineer John C. Boyle, who designed the Klamath River dams for the California Oregon Power Co. 
On the brighter side the river flooding will help flush the sediments out to sea. Too bad people living along the river might see their homes and businesses washed away.
Play with fire... Get burnt by fire...
Guess they shouldn’t have taken out the dams.
Oops.
Great GIFs. I hadn’t seen them before.

Taking down the dams didn’t seem to hurt the Oregon polar bears.
Time to vacation in Death Valley.
Walls of rain have been coming down in that watershed for 3 days.
Luckily the soils were parched.
But there’s still going to be a flood.
Well yeah but among other things these were the sacred such and such grounds of the so and so Indians. Very precious blah blah blah. Destruction is a small price to pay to placate the Indians
Most of the farm land is on a flood plain; so no dams, heavy rains, and viola instant flood - but never fear, the gov will bail them out, since most farms are now hobby farms owned by members of American Rivers or Nature Conservancy.
