If Oroville Dam Failed, Residents Likely Would Not Be Advised in Time

As long as they get their California State Income Tax forms on time, all will be well.

“Electrical malfunction, all systems normal, heavy, non-muslim humidity expected shortly...”

Let’s face it; they are just working class people, mostly white. You really think the government of California cares about them??

Officials say this...officials say that.....
any of these official officials live down stream?

The route 70 bridge over the feather river would be taken out along with all the cars sitting on it. Then the waters would wash away all the cars on 70 heading towards the bridge. Not as bad as Katrina but pretty bad.

Title should rea “If Dam Fails No Time to Inform Residents” aka too late.

Time to leave is now. Easy for me to say not living there.Pretty sad situation to be in. Kinda like wondering how long till you drown

Ya think??? Boy im sure as hell glad they told us that!! I'da never thunk it!!

We’ve built two new homes in our life time. Both times I made certain that the new lot had no ground water, was not on a flood plane, and not downstream from a damn. It’s just common sense.

Seriously, I have zero sympathy for anyone down stream.

“Knock, knock.”

“Who’s there?”

“Wave.”

“Wave who?”

“Wave bye-bye sucker.”

nick - I just saw the spillway on fox cable news. There seems to be very little water flowing down the spillway beyond the big hole. It seems to be all going into the hole and down the cut. I don’t know what this means but it didn’t look right. I thought they filled that spillway hole up with rock?

Nothing to worry about, this is California, we have te Smartest People in the World running this State, just ask them.

I fail to see how a state owned dam is a federal problem.
