Ok, in 2017 it was 12.8 inches of rain that made lake Oroville jump from 850' to 902'.

That is a verifiable record showing 1" of rain ups the lake by 4 feet.

With 11 feet to top the ES, no more than 3 inches can fall. Anything over the 3rd inch can be considered overflow.

With a forecast if 5 to 7, some forecasts show up to 10+ inches, I fear that dam is in serious danger of failing.
 Quoting: Nonentity


Thank you for the hard data.

I threw out my calculation sheets about a year ago thinking I would never need them again, but that matches up to the range I calculated at the time based upon water flows (in-out), acre feet added per hour, and the consequent lake rise. (as I posted above my calculations, per the notes I saved, showed 3' to 4' rise per 1 inch of rain in the watershed when it came down on SATURATED ground, slowing a bit at the very very top - like you I was ONLY looking at data from about the highest lake levels, NOT when the lake was much lower).
 Quoting: Midwest Skeptic


I don't think so. Probably a significant amount of that in the watershed, more than half, was snow. It was February.

Not that it matters with the current forecast......

 Quoting: Amanda Lee


What a shame.

Marty DeAngelo took a chance that was to serve the public, but I thought this might happen.

All the new sensors in the spillway have their readings posted in the internet cloud somewhere, I forget the site exactly. It is some site that all sorts of big installations use to keep a record of their sensors.

Marty got a guy at MIT to not exactly hack in, I think it technically was legal, but maybe not. Anyway, the MIT guy got the sensor readings from when they opened the spillway and figured out the problem with harmonic vibrations. There are normal readings for when water gushes down a chute and does not make the structure move at all, and then there are abnormal ones if the walls are vibrating. Maybe the floor was vibrating. Something was vibrating.

The MIT guy wanted to be anonymous, but there is no question Marty was telling the truth. Marty posted a link to how to get into the site and check the sensor readings for yourself.I never bothered because I am a bit of a technophobe, and I already saw the pretty pictures at Jack's twitter of the argyle diamond pattern on the spillway water which was clearly vibrations.

I would imagine DWR threw a total fit. I was surprised Marty lasted this long and of course DWR is terrified of more sensor data information leaks when they open up the spillway again.

I bet DWR is pressuring MIT to figure out the leak. LOL.

Then there is Juan Brown/Blancolio trying to shut down all the dam doomers. Not sure if he had any part in it, probably not as far as getting the injunction.

Later I will look for comments at some of his links. Trumpet News, Perth Observer, and Susan Wolding are the only ones I remember.

Hey Marty, if you see this, thanks for all you did and may the Lord bless you and prosper you and help you pray for your enemies and trust Him no matter what happens.
