Catering tax money to the coastal areas and a rail system while neglecting the interior.
Coastal cities also benefit from Oroville dam water.

It won't be an issue much longer as that dam is on its way out. Rod just watched live footage and its bad.

Any ideas why they sent the non-union workers out of there?

I found a "live feed" but am having trouble to copy and post it? It show damaged part of main spillway with water going under and off the side.



status?

a.) The main spillway is breaking up some distance below water "release" to generate power? If they release too fast......more risk?

b.) If they don't "release" fast......the lake fills up to top and flows over the top to "BAD" emergency spillway (not paved or graveled as should be).

c.) too much water over emergency side can also damage wall of dam?

d.) Weather Forecast, rain all around. all week ahead.
