Wouldn't this just be faster for all of us:


I live in Oroville. Actually 2 blocks from the river. Part of me believes that absolutely nothing will happen. We will make it through this run off. It's a YUGGE mountain, ALOT of erosion of the mountainside would have to happen to "lose" the MS or ES. The pictures & flyover's don't really show the mountainside very well, but if the MS is 15 car lanes wide,
consider how vast the mountainside is that's holding everything up. I have no "faith" in either the MS or ES because right now, I only hope that the water doesn't cut under the mountainside at top.

The second worry is:
Not seeing this "plume cloud"/spray up as reported does bother me though. That tells me that the hole is bigger, deeper and water found other ways to travel besides bouncing off of the bedrock like it was. I don't believe reducing the CFMs from 50 to 48 caused the plume to reduce/cease, The water as found an easier travel route, or something has given way it's resistance.

These are only my opinions. Nothing more.
