Re 1450 - Love that view. Always happy to see electrical equipment. That’s my thing.
Looks like they’re down to 55,000 the last 4 hours. A little lower than expected. Maybe they want to be able to see what’s down at the bottom of spillway.

The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for the area beginning Sunday evening. The general warning covers many counties throughout Northern California and is expected to continue through Thursday.
Interior Northern California will experience another significant uptick in flooding problems starting late Sunday night and continuing through Monday night as an intense atmospheric river type storm arrives, the NWS said.
Winds are predicted to be 22-25 mph during the day, with gusts up to 38 mph, easing slightly during the night. Monday is more rain, and heavy at times.
Because the soil is already saturated, and snow will melt, additional stress will be placed on levees, rivers, creeks, and streams.
