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

[skookerasbil]

Current Conditions | U.S Drought Portal

No drought at present indicated for Northern California. The history of California and atmospheric rivers is well known, the failure to take that into account when building the dam is an engineering failure. And what we see happening at present is the way most droughts in California end.

C'mon Ray......Ive debunked this 1,000 times already.

From this weekends REALCLEAR politics...........


Californians are paying billions for power they don't need
We're using less electricity. Some power plants have even shut down. So why do state officials keep approving new ones?

California is the model for corruption and waste, and yesterday, that nutty-ass governor is asking for federal funds.


Fuck them

They cant do anything right..........cant even build a stinkin' dam correctly.

This sounds terrifying. Evacuate now.

Evacuations ordered below Oroville Dam; failure of emergency spillway 'expected'

CA should have allocated money to engineers instead of illegals....just saying.

The water level is dropping about 6 inches per hour.
But when this next storm system hits, who knows.
As long as the emergency spillway doesn't erode backwards toward the dam they're ok
If it does, and there's a breach in the spillway, the water level could drop 30 feet.

Amazing. NOR CA was in a terrible drought, and now this.

SO CA is still in bad shape, though, I was there over the weekend and they're on restrictions.

Oroville Dam: Feds and state officials ignored warnings 12 years ago

Now those elected officials who decided NOT to spend money on dam repairs are having AMNESIA about the process.

Good post from the comments:

I appreciate the comments from all sides about the Oroville Dam. Too much time, money and energy is going into the "takers" and not the "givers" or "producers" in our society. Like it or not, we have become Rome. The "takers", or in this case the Democrats (in many cases the Republicans are equal to blame) have become the "mob". The mob lost the last election and they are not happy about it. They will do anything to regain control again. Lie, steal, cheat, and yes, even murder. Don't be surprised to see one of our new cabinet members eliminated in the future. The number one threat to the Democrats power in the United States is Betsy DeVos. She needs to have a lot of highly trained members in her security detail. Break the hold on teachers, unions and the inner-city that democrats have on this county and we can stop the endless number of poor and minority students being passed from one grade to another that can't read or write. Start graduating students at their grade level and you increase the number going to college and not the street. More college graduates means less gang members, less gang members selling drugs and less gang members going to prison. Education will fix 75% of the problems in our society.

Who was the governor 12 years ago? Who knows what information he suppressed or hid?

 

[dannyboys]

What did California do with all the tax money they collected?

Provided free housing/medical/clothes/ food/transportation cards/dental/cell phones/basic cable to hundreds of thousands of illegals who are functionally illiterate and will NEVER EVER pay a fucking dime in Federal income tax.
What could possibly go wrong Jerry?

Yep......fAiL.......but as events unfold and knowing they'd eventually get flooding like this, leave it be...........works for the global warming narrative doucebaggery does it not?

California is a corrupt snake pit that does everything bass ackwards. Costs dont matter to the leaders there........haven't for decades. They need to say bye-bye to our union.

More progressive k00k losing!


depotoo.....cant even take the winning anymore!!

One has to understand that Jerry Brown is senile and incompetent. He would rather build the "Browndogle" train to nowhere rather than maintain out infrastructure.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Who cares that hundreds of thousands of lives are at risk, we need a train no one will use because Democrats want it!

 

[Fenton Lum]

Guess you shoulda taken more time with that states rights concept.

 

[BluesLegend]

Idiot Dems on the west coast are in love with the idea of European travel by train. Ignoring the fact that its quicker and cheaper to travel by plane.

Portland, OR has poured billions into light rail, while failing to build any new freeways or bridges in decades. Its traffic gridlock every day while the light rail trains buzz around half empty.

Democrats live in the past. This airplane and car stuff is over their heads.

Train to nowhere

Sounds like someone like the EPA could solve this problem. Oops

Sorta reminds me how Obama's EPA completely F*ED UP Michigan's water supply to the point where they can't even drink it and instead of making it a priority, stole $1 Billion from tax payers under false pretenses to give to the UN for it's new Globalist Initiative.



(And they try to claim that Conservatives are for dirty air and dirty water...)

Yep, both them and Texas. From what I saw of Super Bowl though, Houston looked as if it dried out nicely.
