Sad... The videos of that dam failing were unreal.

7025Jack,
This thread needs to be high jacked.
There is some value to this sight. I called every pawn shop and gun store in Medford, Central Point, and Grants Pass, Oregon this morning looking for a used Weatherby Mark V six lug action. Finally I decided to try here. Someone posted one a little before noon. The caliber was not too important. Tomorrow I will be sending the money.
But generally I agree with you. The number of posters on ignore is getting so big when there is a political post half the poster are on ignore.

Wow... Didn't know there were so many structural engineers and groundwater hydrologists here... I'm learning a LOT!  Please...how 'bout y'all who are spouting sh1t out your AZZES provide some data whereby we engineers and scientists can crunch the numbers and contribute our opinions...which are surely less valid than ignorant stupid f'ing hysteria... amazing... There is another engineer on here all the time that knows everything. Somebody said he's on vacation but I'm sure he will be along sooner or later and remedy the situation. My personal expertise in this area is limited and crunching #s gets old. But since you wanted some data to chew on, here you go. According to Digital Dan, 100,000 cfs = ~750,000 gallons/second. From this simple conversion please determine the size and number of bags needed to haul big rocks into the dam. I don't have specs on the bags such as knots per inch, etc. , but I'm guessing they need to be extra-heavy duty. Next up we will determine if 223AI is really enough to dislodge said rocks from quarry. I feel a quarter bore would be the minimum, but with these new bullets and powders...

Drain and repair. They have decided to sacrifice the main spillway in order to allow repair to the auxiliary spillway.

What do you want to know about groundwater hydrology? Not much, since I minored in hydrology because of a similar event to this that happened when I was in high school and decimated part of MY world...: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teton_Dam Oh, then you majored in sarchasm?
I am..........disturbed.

Not so sure they decided to sacrifice the main spillway, they have no choice. If they didn't open it the emergency spillway would fail. The main spillway is eroding it's way up towards the gates. If it reaches the gates a massive failure will happen. If you look at photos of when the sinkhole first appeared on the main spillway and compare it to recent pic's you will see it's working it's way up towards the gates. I am sure they core drilled the entire ridge before they built the dam and know exactly where and how deep the bedrock is. Keep in mind the storms aren't over and the spring run off hasen't even started. This is not over by a long shot.

Travis/Deflave/Clark is not a cool kid.
He is a high functioning alcoholic who has a soiled pillow.

Are the almost 200,000 people still being kept away? I'm guessing it will not be the last time this spring.
