Farm flooding and grocery store gestapo
#12
It has become obvious they can't use the main spillway at Oroville dam. It is at 894.24 right now less than 7 feet from using the emergency spillway and more snow( on top of a record amount) was put down in all the storms in late May. Looks like there is no way they are going to keep from using the emergency spillway now and the main spillway has spalling going in on it...it could separate from the rebar and slide down the hill. When it was used for a little bit the emergency spillway was greatly eroded and developed a sinkhole at the top around the weir. I t is suppose to get into the 90's in the first week of June and will step up the snow melt in higher regions. All the cameras except one are working right now. The consequences of a breach and collapse are big time with the Central valley being flooded(some of the most fertile soil in us), wiping out Oroville and everything else that would get in the way of the wall of water all the way to Sacramento.
