More storms starting Wednesday evening...just 48hrs.
They are letting water out as fast as they can. This is a dramatic race against time and nature, and the stakes could not be higher.
Yep, they need to run the regulated spillway at 100k cfs from now until forever to get a head start on near future incoming. Fixing the regulated spillway is way off in the future. Segregating the Spillways from the shoulder of the dam is paramount to saving the day.
California has three major problems:
1) Terrible, terrible drought
2) Overflowing reservoirs
3) More rain is coming
Little too little too late?
Prayers up, for all in harms way.
Just damn.
If only they’d done this in the many dry years. Hope no lives are lost in the effort. Sounds dangerous, especially near the power lines and with old equipment.
After the next drought, fill it up with concrete.
Why dont they just drive down to home depot pick up some labors and shovels do i have to think or everything
Bet it’s going to be tough selling property there for a while.
The state has known that they had a problem for a decade. They did nothing. Not when the low waters of the drought exposed a much easier landscape for repairs to be made.
They had other priorities for the money. Aiding and abetting hordes of illegals financially.
The cost to provide food, shelter, and other free stuff exceeds the tax revenue paid by the illegals by 90%. It’s in the Billions.
Oroville and Yuba City are just sacrificial lambs for the lunatic liberal save the illegals effort. Moonbeam and Hollywood have other priorities.
The UN and EPA should come to the rescue here, simultaneously demonstrating how they will stop the rise of the earth’s temperature.
1) Simply install a big bubble around the dam so no air goes in or out without your control.
2) Remove the carbon dioxide from within the bubble.
3) Write a check for one million dollars to a third world country (this is, after, a small scale version)
The water around the dam will freeze and we will all be saved!
Weather channel today was covering this.. I had it on as background noise. They showed a small pile of stones and helicopters... it sure did not look to be enough to fill any portion of what has been washed out. I sure hope those in charge know what they are doing, but I have my doubts.
Wow. I didn’t realize the town was that close to the dam.
does anyone remember Hurricane Katrina?
why didn’t they...
drive , school busses. dumptrucks...
off the bridge, where the 17th St Canal,
connects to Lake Ponchartrane.
anything would have been better than nothing
> primary and auxiliary spillways
Used to be called primary and “emergency” spillways.
Is anyone up for a pool (pun intended) on the day the emergency spillway breaches? I pick Sunday, February 19.
So is the drought over now?
OMG, just think of the illegals not getting a paycheck while CA deals with real issues ....

In 6 months they will wish they had all that water they are releasing.
About time, Jerry Brown. Hire Americans.
