Well, I have been following the Oroville Dam situation assiduously. Never minding the “remote viewing”, how about the news media? When they reopened the spillway one of the News channels showed images of the overflow of the auxilliary, or “emergency” spillway, as if this was happening all over again, even though the lake level is 40 feet lower than this contingency.

Is this just California? ... No ... This is not just California.

The ignorance on this topic has been blinding.

Some media talk about the “emergency” spillway as if it can be turned off and on. An idiot Freeper referred to some kind of new drain pipe 'being built off to the side' of the spillways. Some think a few rocks and some concrete will make the “emergency” spillway a viable alternative if the main spillway erodes up to the gates and has to be closed.
