California's Lake Oroville Main Spillway Severely Damaged/Eroded. Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed

It makes me wonder how GLP is still operating......

New page. This comment above is a reference to what I just said at the end of the last page:

I took a look at Paveway 1V's twitter/X account. Its been a while. He was great for all things Oroville and earthquakes.

Its gone. No posts. No old Oroville threads.

I guess somebody got to him, like they did Dutchsinse, and weiryone a while back.

If you see this Paveway, I hope you are OK.

Lots of rain this evening, it looks like the gate threshold will be overtopped. Great fun.

Any news? It has been awfully wet around here, so I imagine Oroville Lake is filling up!

A metric crap ton of rain the past few days. The reservoir elevation is slowly rising.

The roads down here in the swampland haven't flooded yet, so that is a good thing.

Thank you for the update!

Happy one more suspenseful season watching O Lake fill and wondering if the gates will hold, the leaky hill will hold, the spillway will vibrate itself apart, and the seeping through the actual dam will matter.

Cheers.

:burp:

'scuse me!

Maybe you're a good guy.

Maybe not.

Can I be both?

y what a creep

why would you want to be both?

Let me expand on that a little bit. Good men are by virtue stuck in a duality.

OP, Sorry for going off topic..

No worries.

I came across this in the earthquake thread and thought to share it here.

This winter sucks!! Bring on that Pacific Jet!

Thread: "Ark Storm" bringing several feet of rain predicted to hit southern California and wash all the scum from the streets

California's 'ARkStorm': Historic 1000-year floods of 1861-62 featured 8 weeks of atmospheric rivers

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Imagine Disneyland under feet of water for weeks. Rivers swelling to levels never seen before and never seen since. Days of rain stretch into weeks as floodwaters rise to epic levels.

California may have endured an onslaught of tropically-infused atmospheric river storms that filled the calendar for months at the end of 2022 and the start of 2023 and is staring at another atmospheric river this weekend, but those storms pale in comparison to the historic floods during the winter of 1861-1862.
