Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed Do they not patrol the area and inspect it everyday during the rainy season? I guess not, that would take common sense, which is in short supply in California. I don't think it got like that overnight, did it? They focus on the levy breaks which happen pretty often. I've seen parks there with water over the lampposts, flooding into downtown "It's a friendly friendly world" (Andy Kaufman) Calm seas do not a sailor make, Nor easy horses, a horseman. And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower and when He could be certain only drowning men could see Him- Leonard Cohen |

Just to give you all a picture of what is behind the dam, for now. |
