I am currently monitoring the overnight livestream right now.

Huge spotlights are being employed to light up the entire downhill-side face of the MS gate structure area.

That has NOT been recent standard practice.

Something's up....?

Yeah, I saw all the lights when I was headed into town this morning at 5:30.

A lot more lights than normal.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77647308


It takes two days for the water to peak after rainful, when upstream reservoirs are full. 4 days if they are low. They are full.

The jury is out on how many inches of rain raise the lake how many feet. We have the Metabunk administrator and his one inch equals 12 feet. We have Midwest sceptic here and others estimating 4 feet per inch.

Lets go with the most conservative estimate, 4 feet. That means two days after almost 3 inches of rain we are over the top.

Maybe three inches of rain by Sunday, full by Tuesday at the latest. If the rain holds off, there is more in the ten day forecast so full in 12 days.

If they open the spillway that changes all the level numbers. We get a new canyon cut into the rocky hill when the spillway breaks, but maybe doom averted if the gates hold and the rocky hill does not erode backwards. It didn't in 2017, but we don't know how much the blasting has weakened already fractured bedrock.

Its going to be a long week. Good to know the real problem is all that sexism and racism at DWR. Lol.

This is being shared on social media to counter the people sharing safety concerns about the dam. [link to www.msn.com (secure)]

"Mellon also addressed the seismic activity recently recorded at the dam saying, ”There was recent activity but that was actually measuring an earthquake that happened earlier in the day in Papua New Guinea, so some of our seismic equipment is actually quite sensitive.” "

Is it normal for a brand new spillway to crack all over from 15,000 CFS? Not even 10% what it is rated for.

Honestly, I have no idea. I have not been trained sufficiently in concrete. It is definitely possible.
