There are a lot of innocents who are going to have their lives turned upside down. I hate that Americans are being put through this.

1. Never tell everything that you know.

Not to sound insensitive, but from my perch here in North Central Wyoming , I say, Huh and move on to local news. I agree that California is in some trouble, and they do never seem to have the right amount of moisture or anything else....but ,What can I do that the Engineers in charge should have done.

I was talking to a friend today and he said to also watch Shasta Lake. He said that it was about 30' above "full".

lol that's typically why people quote a post but looking back I get it now. Sorry for the misunderstanding. No harm no foul, just saving a little bandwidth and using the "reply function" instead of "stacking it like cordwood". Greg

I assume that California will ask for an emergency declaration from the Trump administration that will provide federal dollars to help with repairs. And he can tell them to get with the program on immigration or pound sand. That's what some are saying. Harsh, but defying the feds has consequences right?

Cross,what i am getting at is the damage did not happen overnight.
It had to be going on for a while before they found it.
The way the so-called news read was that they had shut down the regular spillway down because of fears that it would wash out.
Just seems to me that if they did shut it down some type of damage control could have been done.
That's all. They'll TRY to keep this under wraps, but I'll predict not that what actually appears on the original prints for that spillway for mat and grid rebar and wire denstity is NOT what they are going to find,....this kinda' schiddt's been ENDEMIC in that state,.... Well organized graft, theft, and abuse with ties right to the very top in most cases. GTC Reagan was the governor when this dam was finished. Sycamore
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

The era of its construction was not good for earthen dams... You got that dead straight!....and by the mid to late 80s we were madly scrambling to keep up with the incipient failures of the damned things, which had been scattered around like a mad woman's schiddt on both sides of the Medicine Line. You would not BELIEVE the miserable pile of mud they had protecting the town of Canmore Alta. Ya' cant teach these "Civil Engineers" jack, ...by the late 80s they actually thought that they were going to modify the path of the "Mighty Bow",...and proceeded to try......that lasted, what, less than 25 years, and the whole bloody mess washed away ?

Here, they are looking at the "Pebble Mine" disaster in waiting... they want to build a dam encompassing three mountains for a "settling pond" which will make the Seven Gorges Dam either the second third or fourth biggest dam in the World, depending on how you count it.
But the Pebble deal will be built on 3,500' of tundra sponge... no way it could undercut, right?
But enganeers done figgered it out and plan to dewater an area bigger than several states down to that 3500' depth so it will squash down in there nicely. Of course there are a number of World Class rainbow fisheries there that will be completely dewatered in the process, but what could that hurt, right?
The Teton washout is exactly what I predict will happen if they decide to pull that stunt...

My daughter is a few miles north, in Chico. That;s where the are sending evacuees.

I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.
