Bea: Yes, it is possible. And it would be worse than any of them. A breach at Oroville would send a wall of water down the Feather River, through the Sacramento Valley and ultimately into the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta. It would destroy towns along the Feather and Sacramento Rivers, flood major portions of Sacramento, and blow out levees throughout the Delta, permanently flooding much of the region. The huge government pumps near Tracy that send water to Southern California cities and farms would be incapacitated. There would be tremendous loss of life and property, and it would be years before a permanent water delivery system to the south state could be reestablished.

Furthermore, it wouldn’t necessarily take a tremendous amount of rain and uncontrolled releases as we saw in February to trigger such a failure. It could happen on a bright, sunny summer’s day. The situation is that serious.

Maybe there was nothing wrong with the old spillway except that the ground under it was giving out.

The new spillway sits on the same ground so it too will collapse just like the first one.

Maybe.

They spent almost Two Billion Dollars...and for what?

The Fkn thing is still broken as hell. Hydro pressure from underneath the spillway are lifting the slabs.

There's no doubt in my mind that the whole shit is going to collapse into a huge pile of shit and it will be a clusterfuck of epic proportions.
