Mandatory evac for parts of Oroville b/c of dam situation

Same thing happened with Katrina.

If Governator wasn't taking care of the infrastructure, why didn't governor moonbeam?

California is a special kind of stupid.

What was so disgusting about Katrina was how Ray Nagin helped to falsely paint Bush as a racist...then Nagin goes to Federal prison for 15 years for corruption from stealing Katrina relief funds from his own people.

...but Katrina was Bush's fault because he is racist.

Is Nagin racist for stealing money from his black constituents?
While Nagin whined there was no way to evacuate people.
Ever hear of a hurricane sneaking up on anyone?

Nagin is a classic snowflake.

All about optics. Fuck the truth.

Snowflake logic.
 
In 2005, three environmental groups warned state and federal officials about what they believed was a problem with Oroville Dam’s emergency spillway, which was at risk of collapsing over the weekend as recent storms caused the adjacent massive reservoir to swell.

Their concern, which seemed to have fallen on deaf ears: The emergency spillway, which is meant to be used in urgent situations — is not really a spillway. Rather, it’s a 1,700-foot long concrete weir that empties onto a dirt hillside. That means, in the event of severe flooding, water would erode that hillside and flood nearby communities, the groups said then.

Officials were warned the Oroville Dam emergency spillway wasn’t safe. They didn’t listen.

They knew there was a real problem in 2013 when an inspection was done. It was dry as a bone in 2014 they should have initiated repairs but they didn't.

Taken in 2013 by an individual who posted it along with other places they have been hiking. You can see where a little undercut is started in the photo a little over halfway down to the right. I would bet someone has better photos of it out there.

This show and interview also states they inspected it in 2013
 
Yep. 2013same spot where "patched" went out now.

Anyone know what they are mining two plus miles away? This guy says they were blasting on Feb 9.
 
I know there was a minor earthquake just to the north of the dam on the 8th.

Don't know about the mining, other than this

Do remember though, they have known for years there were problems with the spillways and did pretty much nothing.

#180: The pipelines under the Great Lakes were installed then, too. One has outlived its intended use, so California sloth is not the only sloth going down, and is a prime target for migrant snowflakes on religious drugs.

Thank you. Blasting can carry for miles. If there was already a problem it could possibly expedite a weak area already under extreme stress.
 
Even with access to geological maps, we can't form the first clue about earthquake followed the next day by mining operations, until we have a more specific location of the blasting. "Two miles" is not sufficient.
 
The mass, having settled for over a half-century would stress the geology. The mining operation is mentioned, though not located as to even a general GPS, disavowing an attempt to investigate said geology for evidence of paleochannels, formation boundaries, etc.
 
Saw on the news this morning that CA is fixing to get a whole bunch more rain, up to 10 more inches in some areas.

I hope the dam is able to hold.
 
We're not buying the "microbubbles" theory, and we still are yet to get any directions from the dam to where the mining was going on. Where was the earthquake located the day before the mining explosion? If we have these two parameters, we can then scrutinize the geological maps. Otherwise, we're screwed.
