officials initially assured the public that evacuations would not be necessary, because the damage to the normal spillway appeared limited. They repeated those assurances on Saturday as the emergency spillway was used for the first time since the dam’s construction in 1968.
Now, however, local ABC News affiliate KRCR reports that state officials warn
I'm shocked to my very heart and soul that the "Officials" could not be trusted,.....
Anyhow,...OBEY OFFICIALS, it's the California way
kidding aside, prayers for those in harms way.
....a POX on politically motivated "Officials", and their puppet masters, as well.

As much as I despise the politics of Liberal Californians, I pray there will be no loss of life with this disaster.
Mother Nature can be a real bitch.

Shows once again just how ill-prepared the government is to engineer and maintain something as basic as a dam. When it breaches and causes loss of life and property I'm sure "climate change" will be at the heart of the cause. Never mind democrats in charge of the State most likely didn't maintain its structural integrity. Good luck to 'em.

Global Warming legislation is being drawn up in Sacramento as we speak, you can bet on that..

Look pal, they got high-speed cho-choo trains to Bakersfield to build, ya know!
Poor Cali, they can't catch a break. Its either too hot, too cold, too dry, too wet, too much mud, too much fire and too much San Andreas activity. Just not enough illegals to vote in more democrats.

That sinkhole in the main spillway isn't a crater from a bomb hit, it's a COLLAPSE of the sub-grade. For a collapse of that scale to transpire, there has to be a LOT of water making it's way from out from under that dam already,....DEEP underneath.
The implications of a potential "blowout" right down at or below the reservoirs bottom are not at all good IMHO.
