State water officials said water has begun flowing over the emergency spillway at Oroville Dam. Doug Carlson, a spokesman for the state Department of Water Resources, said water started topping over the auxiliary spillway shortly before 8 a.m. at a rate of between 5,000 and 10,000 cubic feet per second.

Exactly! Maybe the farmers in CA can use this scenario (cutting away bird/woodland animal sanctuaries/habitats) in solving their water issue case.
Clif High tweeted web bot immediacy data indicating damaging floods for CA, OR, WA with hurricane level evacuations required. Likely in the next week.
I have a friend that owns Olson House Coffee in Orville.
It would be a good year to backfill the Salton sea if anyone had the foresight to make those provisions.
Some say the spillway was sabotaged. Spillway was designed for 200,000 cfs and it failed at 25,000cfs. If true that is interesting.
Don’t bet on it. It’ll be back to obstruction as usual in no time.
Wow.
That is a tremendous amount of debris.
Imagine the force being exerted on that boom.
Can’t tell from the picture how the sections are constructed or linked together but it’s going to have to be really strong to stand up to that level of pressure.
Political thugs and hacks, ya think? Typical Liberal vermin and human debris.

“”state legislature demands conversion to 3 ounce flush commodes; umbrella tax proposed; windshield wiper rain-catch system required on all 2018 vehicles sold in California.””
Are you joking? I understand the commode (low flush has been around a long time) but the others? Umbrella - are you speaking of an umbrella to keep rain off your head? Windshield wiper rain-catch system - to do what??? Apparently to catch rain water and then what? Save up enough to drown all the legislators?
We left CA 11 years ago but before that I remember there was talk about a law requiring all washing machines sold after a certain date had to be front loading. Did that ever take place?
What fools we put up with!!!!
Prayers to you friend for his/her safety.
When reality is in conflict with the Democrat political agenda, then they just ignore reality.....for as long as they can.
I think it’s wire rope, like cable. The booms are really long so the force is fairly diffused as the current spreads out. Must be a lot of work to remove everything though.
The glory hole in Berryessa (Fairfield/Vacaville) is about to overflow, if it hasn't already done so. That one hasn't overflowed in years.
How can you maintain infrastructure when all your cash is going to pay people to vote democrat?
Yes, Why are we not building more water storage, the flood is a current issue but we are also going to let the water go to the sea.
Never let a crisis go to waste
Racheal Mad-Dyke MSNBC’s resident Dyke, used this story and compared it to the way the National Security Advisor russian thing will get out of control.
