There is a LOT of snow in the mountains and, looks like some more snow headed into the Sierra's in the next couple of days. Folks down stream take heed. This could get ugly real fast.

When it fails it will be Trump’s fault.
(It doesn’t take a psychic to predict that.)

Oh dear, those brilliant, clever Californians. So much smarter than everyone else.
They were going to put up their own satellite to prove man-made global warming, remember?
Put up $3B for fetal-stem-cell research to stick it in Bush ‘43’s eye. Got zip to show for it, but a bunch of well-connected investors had a good time. Of course they showed their generous appreciation to the Democrat politicians who voted for it.

Prayers for folks that could be affected by this. The small towns and exurbans who live downstream are strongly Republican, IIRC. State government says "move 'em out!"
Mexico needs Lebensraum. Espacio vital, I mean.

California has been kicking the can down the street on water storage safety and capacity for decades. The influx of illegals into the state and subsequent strain on all resources, including water, has sped up this crisis.

American Thinker is guilty of sensational headline creation.

From the comments:
What this dam needs is a high speed train.

But, I hear if you share this link you’ll be arrested in NZ. Nothing bad is allowed to be shared now apparently. Just kittens and puppy links.

To: rktman
"...the Oroville Dam can hold 3.5 million acre-feet of water..."
"...in February 2017 and engineers began opening eight huge spillway gates to allow 100,000 acre-feet per second to race down the face of the dam..." So they can empty the lake in under a minute? I think somebody got their per-seconds wrong. Maybe 100,000 gallons per second? Anyone here know?

Thanks rktman.
In 2011, Jerry Brown was told that the Orville Dam had problems. In 2014, he got a major water bond passed, which included money to fix the dam. He refused to fix the dam. Then we had major rains, the dam broke and he wanted Federal funds. President Trump cut out over $300 millionbecause the damage was due to unrepaired portions of the dam, known since the official report in 2011. Jerry Brown was trying to steal money from the Federal taxpayers, to finance his fraud in passing a bond and not spending the money as advertised.

This has been continuously ugly for 2 years, as to the condition of the dam, and for 60 years as to the water politics of CA.
