Flooding in China - 3 Gorges Dam at risk - 167.59m -Inflows down to 47000cm3

they built bridge cross intercoastal here for one year coud here piledriver poundin them in ten years later still can

wtf do they care they can afford to lose million or so peeps

Correction, just translate this to mandarin.
"The planned demolition of the Three Gorges Dam went off successfully today. It was planned to be removed in anticipation of a BRAND NEW GEE WHIZ dam that will be better built by superior chinese engineers. The old one was subverted but counter revolutionary thoughts. Any loss of life reported is false, unpatriotic peoples are supposed to hold their breath long enough for the bath that they are given by the courageous government of china. You're welcome."

Flood death toll now at 150, and thousands evacuated, according to BBC

Latest in China is 11.2 million homeless due to flooding. This is from Chinese TV. More rain on the way. Every upstream dam now has all the drainage gates opened. Also, the government is threatening people not to send any information outside of China on the dam and the flooding or you will be arrested.

Xi and the seven top ccp leaders have left Beijing and no one knows where they are.

Do you think it’s likely the dam will fail?

Here is the Chinese morning news






This one is probably the best one for the flood if you do not understand Chinese. Something is going on with the 301 hospital. Rumored top officials are being 'treated' something, but the government is looking for the people who started this rumor. There is an inactive volcano in northern China which just became active in Heilongjiang. Last active 500,000 years ago

Thanks for keeping us updated!

In answer to your question, the dam has effectively failed. According to the Chinese, the warped appearance of the dam is due to lens distortion on the satellite which took the pictures. We have had 'experts' which have chimed in on this subject and confirmed that the skewed appearance of the dam is indeed due to lens distortion.

On pictures of the dam taken prior to the 2018 flooding there was no distortion due to the lenses in the satellites. The last morning news video I posted around the 6:00, there are pictures of the dam showing the same distortion. These pictures were not taken from space but from a helicopter. Obviously, the cameraman must be getting his or her lenses from the same place the satellite lenses came from.

According to the Chinese, they had a release of water yesterday which displaced 5.1 million people. I do not believe the BBC where they are saying that 20,000 people are being affected. The Chinese morning news is saying 11.2m.

They have opened up all the flood gates upstream to in an attempt to reduce the head pressure on the dam. The dam cannot be repaired. The only thing which can be done is to start over. They will have to open the original water diversion channels back up and build a new dam. This time, properly. First tenant of engineering is form is a function of stress. Even if the original dam was designed properly and constructed properly, it might have failed anyway. I do not believe that the original design of the existing dam was expected to be subjected to this kind of rain event.

If they can reduce the reservoirs down to the bare minimum where they can open up the diversion channels, they may have a chance to avert a major catastrophe. They will have to have effective water management with respect to the upstream dams and will have to implement relief sluices in the event that this happens again so that they are not just dumping millions of gallons of water to go wherever.

I will say that C4 can effectively build a new dam. C4 is the largest construction company in the world, Chinese, by the way. The previous parties who build the dam will be blamed and a new heavily over engineered dam will take its place.

A lot of people in this thread are laughing at the Chinese, but many of them are highly educated. What China used to be no longer exists. They are gong through their own struggles, just like we are. If this dam manages to not crumble, they will demand that it be rebuilt. 600,000,000 people downstream of the dam do not need to be told that the dam is crooked because of lens distortion.

Thanks for the updates. I think this is going to be something that will change the world even more than Covid if it collapses.

While the operating company of the Three Gorges dam has dismissed the concerns by pointing to potential inaccuracies with Google satellite images, it later admitted in a social media post that the dam had moved by up to 1.05 inches. The company said it was within acceptable margins.

1.05 feet more like, if not more!

There is not much change from yesterday to today. Here are a couple news clips where you can see some of the flooding and storms which are hitting China. I have tired to pick a few clips which is more visual and less dialogue.

Well then dude 5* for you then on trying to keep us informed without bloviating. .

That sure is a mighty fine damn they got there. Be a shame if something happened to it.

Peak catastrophic rainfall to develop over next ten days. Downstream cities of Wuhan, Nanking and Shanghai in danger of being wiped out.

BDA? That you?

Thanks for the info.

The graphic shows that the dam overtops (?) at 185m. Hard to find info on current levels.

It is now turning to Armageddon weather in China. Here is a few for those who do not understand Chinese, just kind of scroll through the videos. Funny, how the lava chamber of a volcano which last blew 500,000 years ago fills up. Superstitious or not, they believe that, at least some of them do, that the current events are related to this comet which just passed. Flooding is getting worse and worse. And throw in an earthquake.

Here are some comments. Too bad YT does not have instant translation.

Hail stormed Beijing, 🔴Beijing flew ice in June, ✳️ The sky dropped "ice buns", as big as eggs, ☔️

The Beijing Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow hail warning signal at 15:30 on June 25, 2020:

Concerns Over the Three Gorges Dam Grow, as China Begins Censoring News of the Floods | Crossroads |


The Three Gorges Dam in China has become a center of attention, as waters rise and local authorities issue flood warnings nearby. Taiwan News reports that a prominent Chinese hydrologist, Wang Weiluo, is claiming the dam "could collapse at any moment." He pointed to existing concerns over the dam's design, construction, and process for inspections.

Chinese authorities, meanwhile, are declaring that information on the flood in Chongqing is "sensitive information," which subjects it to censorship. The floods have already hit 26 provinces, required emergency rescue of over 213,000 people, and damaged over 171,000 homes. The situation may grow worse as the 980 reservoirs are impacted.



Over 980 reservoirs impacted!

More hail.

Thanks for all your posts in this thread and keeping us updated..


I was hit by a hailstone once the size of a golfball when we all went on to the covered porch to watch.

A stray hailstone came down sideways landing directly on the top of my foot where all the tendons are. It hurt. A lot.

My dad's brand new truck was covered in dents.

Those hailstones are ever bigger.

Making the problem potentially worse, there are several dams on the Yangtze, which also seem to be at capacity at the moment with the rain. Any failure higher up will cascade down the system.

Paybacks a bitch eh China?

If you look at the Chinese radar right there are very intense storms(in red and dark red) over the area including the city of Chongqing. It's not looking too good and the flooding is bigger than once in 80 year flood it seems.

Nothing about this in google news search. International corporations covering for their masters.

Yes!

Excellent, isn't it??!

Those chemtrailing MFers will get a nice payback for all their commie bullshit!
China is asshole!
