flakmagnet Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Water with this kind of force and pressure will always find a way around 'bags of rocks.' The real "fix" that is happening, is that the water is being drained down to a 'manageable' level (88% of capacity). If that continues and they are able to get the water level down low enough to also handle the upcoming rain, the folks below the dam may be out of trouble for awhile. Fingers crossed.

californiagold Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I noticed the governor isnt getting to close. he is keeping up on this crisis from mather where if there is was a total failure, he can just climb on a chopper and be safe while he watches all his state subjects drown.

Steve Herschbach Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 That is an amazing report Scott. All the focus has been on a mega-earthquake occurring in California but flooding in that scale would be nearly as bad. Thanks for posting it, good read. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitebutler Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Finally everyone can go home! As of 1:30 this afternoon. Seems as though they now only have a warning level alert, not an evacuation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
