OROVILLE, Calif. (KCRA) —

Crews are beginning to make repairs to the spillways at Lake Oroville, the California Department of Water Resources said.

“Efforts are underway to make repairs to both the primary and auxiliary spillways at Lake Oroville,” officials tweeted.

Military-grade helicopters are picking up 1-ton containers of rocks from a parking lot near Lake Oroville, flying them to the erosion scar at the emergency spillway and dropping the containers into the hole.

they’re using “military grade” helicopters

Unfortunately, the writer is "weapons grade" stupid.

Thanks. One of our younger relatives had heard of a no fly zone up there somewhere.

I told him, that I wasn’t aware of it.

Now I know.

Wonder if any of the private U2’s can be hired by a Brit news agency to keep us posted on what really is happening.

No, Kali has one major problem - liberals are running it.

This mess with the Oroville dam is merely a symptom.

Perhaps we could round up “professional leakers” from DC. Strap them up every 20ft along the ES. They’d give us real time information non-stop to any dam “leaks” no problem.

In the experimental dam fail video I posted, one of the engineers can be heard saying, “Something different happens every time...the previous dam failed on this side of it.” When you take that into consideration, the unpredictability factor is most frightening.

As many unknowns as grains of sand... You're right - frightening.
