Links to some pictures and videos.
One does not believe that we are getting the full, complete, and truthful story here.
Good wishes and luck to the Orovillians, (and those downstream along the Feather River.)
It was a shock to everyone that the levy broke where it did. The neighbors lived in a brick house and did not hear the levy break, nor did they hear the deputy on the bullhorn trying to wake every one up. They were rescued from their 2nd story roof by helicopter, there were 600 that were rescued that way.
Sounds like de-ja-vu all over again.
thats not the emergency spillway..thats the eroded controlled spillway
Thaaat’s not good
>Where did the money go to maintain the dam properly?pissed away on social services to illegals?
Yep. And now no doubt they want we that work for a living to pay for their idiocy. ESAS you ignorant morons and illegal enablers.
Yep, they won’t blame Jerry Brown, they’ll blame Trump, you can bet on that.
May fail within the hour.
I know, but it’s not good either.

DWR: Officials anticipate failure of Auxiliary Spillway Oroville Dam within the next 60 minutes.

Gov Moonbeam is such a godsend!
Democrat rule is about to drown thousands in the Sacramento valley.
The nation’s most powerful state is powerless to follow common sense.
President Trump: please take over the state of California immediately!
You can rename it Katrina II.

teeth should mean “teenth” not ten, as in “building umpteenth number of dams”.
Glad that you posted the image. As you mentioned in your videos, the “red” water is dirt being eroded. It’s eroding fast. A little on the left side too. But there may be new concern if the spillway structure farther up near the top starts failing. Then the dam itself won’t be relevant any more.
LOL
Trump has nothing to do with this.
It’s all Jerry Brown, Feinstein, and Obama.
Ther are FReepers living in harm’s way of this. I you stop being a thread cop for a minute and were following this you’d know.

BREAKING: Officials warn of collapse of emergency spillway at Oroville
By Ryan Sabalow
rsabalow@sacbee.com
Officials are warning those living downstream of Lake Orovilles dam to evacuate because of a risk that the dams emergency spillway could collapse.
They have what they expect to be an imminent failure of the axillary spillway, said Mike Smith, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. What theyre expecting is as much as 30 vertical feet of the top of the spillway could fail and could fail within one to two hours. We dont know how much water that means, but we do know thats potentially 30 feet of depth of Lake Oroville.
The Department of Water Resources, which operates the dam, said in a 4:42 p.m. Twitter post that the emergency spillway could fail within the next hour.
Oroville residents evacuate northward, the Tweet said.

I think the Grand Canyon was solid earth at one time, rock infact.
There's already a youtube video blaming global warming. It went up during the first couple of days.
Found news articles on the evacuation...
