I went through the Bea Report. Hadn’t been for us at FR and Metabunk, he wouldn’t have a report.

Weather conditions in the upper FR basin are predicted to be in the high 60’s to mid 70’s over the next few days. The ground is saturated and most of the lakes are spilling at a very high rate. I expect the in flow to Oroville to spike Saturday afternoon into Sunday. They had better be prepared to spill every drop of water they can since the current spill rate is barely staying ahead of the inflow.

Agreed. Lots of solid info here and at Metabunk

Yes, many people on FR contributed, sometimes from simple discussion, triggering others to further investigation. However, as far as my perspective, I feel that the beneficiaries are the public, now that Prof Robert Bea & the CCRA performed an independent detailed study & analysis (of all data available), compiled the report, and then elevated it to the forefront.

btw- Another article reveals that Prof Robert Bea was rebuffed by DWR when he went to them early on to get original design information. He noted that they said to him, with a smile, "You might be a Terrorist". Good Grief.. Why would they treat someone like that face to face?.

So he was showing persistence and motivation to obtain all that he could research in spite of the lack of cooperation from DWR.

Fortunately, the engineering forums accelerated the compilation of information. Prof Robert, as an esteemed and highly respected Failure Analysis Specialist, performed his own critical analysis and came to his very strongly worded report. His conclusions stand on its own & are correct.

I do believe Prof Robert/CCRA would have had the ability to come to the same conclusions from digging for info, but the current resulting overwhelming report, with the quality of forensic photographic evidence available from the public forums, was critical in swiftly assembling an "overwhelming evidential" report that now stands on its own against the wall of persistent FUD, deflect, secret, obfuscate, PR memes, etc. that has been the case with DWR.

Do you think Bea is following this FR thread?
