Don Pedro Lake About To Open Its Floodgates. Flooding Already Severe On The Downstream River

Latest shasta data from PST 8:00 is basically 4 x inflow vs outflow

Lake has been rising on average around 0.15' an hour (if not more)

They are severely limited in their outflow options I'm assuming because at problems downstream at Oroville

At this rate there is less than 4 days to capacity

Tell Jerry Brown to stop releaing PAEDOS or Cental California will become a big lake

here's a short video of the DP spillway....they put a bunch of dirt down to protect the road...this will wash away fast...these people have their heads up their asses....

Thread: Emergency alert levee break Modesto is starting to flood!!!

Levee break emergency alert!

to be clear, the levee break yesterday near Manteca was not caused by the Don Pedro spilling. It does show how vulnerable that area is as they will get the Don Pedro water in the next couple of days..

looks like they predict some of the water to go upstream on the San Joaquin river when it gets this..

"The San Joaquin River is projected to go slightly above flood stage Tuesday in Newman but stay within its banks just downstream in Patterson, the California Nevada River Forecast Center reported.

The San Joaquin was about a foot above flood stage in the less-populated Vernalis area Monday afternoon and could be about 2 feet above flood stage into Friday, according to the center."

Spilltards.

it may be, if levees break and/or he needs to go to Modesto for something..

here is the CaDWR page for Don Pedro levels. They have to open the gates at 830' to protect the dam. They opened them early this time to get ahead and keep some storage space..

Not related to the initial post, but still weather doom.

Good luck all you Cali peeps, only been there once myself during a layover on a return trip home from flying around the world.

Crazy how they didn't get any rain for years, then out of nowhere they get dumped on like this over and over and over again, never saw anything like this. I pray for the flood victims, I know how that is my house and 4 of our other family homes down the street got flooded last August and we are still recovering from it. Ours was a 100 year flood that had no warning or chance for us to save any valuables it just hit out of nowhere and ruined so so much of our things and houses. Word around town is that a stone quarry up the mountain had a holding pond break, which caused all this water we got but they won't admit to it because it was millions and millions of dollars worth of damages. When you bring up the stone quarry at the meetings they have, a few professional shills who pose as flood victims will shoot you down real quick its crazy.

Flood victims don't get shit for help either when compared to other natural diasters, most smartass people say well that's what you get for living near water!, when personally I don't live near the water what happened on my hill was the drains got clogged up and backed up into our basements. A church in my back yard had 4 ft of water in their basement which collapsed it. We got about a ft and a half, so we weren't that bad just enough to ruin all our clothes, furniture, and appliances in the basement though. No heat, hot water, washer, dryer, all that was ruined and it took a while to get help.

Redding and SAC are in the path

This is what I am wondering about. The levee that broke was on the Stanislaus river that feeds into the San Joaquin. The San Joaquin itself is nearly at flood stage and the waters from the dam are going to overwhelm the Tuolumne, another tributary.

and if san pedro floods then modesto in is deep water.




maybe if CA gets hammered hard enough by Mother nature, maybe californians will GET A CLUE

yup, the Tuolomne hits the SJ in that same area South of Tracy. Amazon has a huge new facility in Patterson, btw, and theoretically could be affected by this..

Amazon prime could be late for God's sake, that's scary..

The Tuolumne is going to hit 62.9' tonight

Tuolumne River will reach highest flows since 1997 this afternoon. Will flood low lying areas around Modesto, including mobile home parks

Tuolomne in Modesto now red on the river levels map. Vernalis is purple, they are gonna have a big swamp all over that area by tomorrow..

ohh but the dams not breaking so nothing is still happening right...nothing ever happens in my lifetime.

so far

AT LEAST 30 HOMES FLOODED IN SAN JOSE'S NORDALE NEIGHBORHOOD

[link to abc7news.com]

This is as a result of releases at Anderson dam in Morgan hill into Coyote Creek which flows through San Jose and eventually into the bay

Fire department paddling in boats, rescuing people from homes, decontaminating them from dirty water!

I'll be driving by today to check out levels

This was 3 min. ago--- ppl being rescued on boats from their homes south of downtown #SJ. Coyote Creek has not even crested yet.

This is due to Anderson overflow, a different resevoir over capacity

I was kidding...these people who say doom off because of oroville not breaking (yet)...doom is still on big time from historic flooding and the "news" aint sayin shit about it!

big flood warning just went out for the area..

"A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for parts of the Delta due to concerns with levees. Prepare now in case of levee failure"

Higher volume releases moving out of Anderson (105.9%) capacity and other reservoirs keeping flood risk high. #CAwx [link to fb.me]
