Get off your high horse! Are you waiting for CNN to report?
This has been building for days, and suppressed from MSM. Best footage was streaming from an ARF printer repair guy.
A no-fly zone went into effect yesterday, UNTIL MAY 31, 2017.

“It sounds like they got more rain snowmelt than they thought so had to dump more water to keep the dam from over-topping.”
There is NO SNOW MELT at this time of year! I had planned to go skiing this weekend, but it was going to snow followed by very low temperatures. We were going to go to Kirkwood where it was 17 degrees for the low Friday and 22 degrees for the high. Right now it’s all rainfall.
Here is a chart showing the rainfall to date and a comparison with last year and historical norms:

“...and severe flooding would ruin some of the most productive agricultural land in the country.”
OK. NOW you’ve got my attention. *SNIF*

CNN is showing Anthony Bourdain and Fox is talking about other stuff, I don’t believe this.

They can try stacking illegal aliens on top of the spillway like they used to do with slaves on the levees on the Mississippi.
That’s thinking outside the box right there.

Scary stuff.
I couldn’t catch the date on the heavy rain in that area when it happened or will happen.
