Dam break dream, 2.5.2021
#3
Of course there is always the dams in the San Francisco bay area that were quite a few even in the early 2000's that were in need of a lot work for repairs according to the book magnitude 8. The big one is still the Oroville spillway which known to be a disaster waiting happen seeing how they can't turn on the gates to spill anything over 10,000 cfs because the vibrations it would cause would tear the dam apart. If it broke while close to full it could kill a million people because it would send a 30 foot wall of water into Sacramento. The dream I had of it's big time failure is that something happens with the Almanor dam which causes the Oroville Spillway to fail big time. I still remember the dream of seeing part of the spillway break off around the side of the gates maybe 20 to 30 feet of it and the head guy rushes into the break room and tells everyone to get out and head for higher ground and have them inform Oroville to evacuate. They take off and then the rest of the spillway breaks apart. The water would take 2 hours to get to Sacramento but it would take three days to properly evacuate 2.2 million people.
