THERES A BIG FUCKIN HOLE IN THAT SHIT
Holy shit.
Hang in there Calibros.
It's not going to happen you fucking idiot. The spillway is holding up fine. Just a little overflow. The erosion is not as bad as they were saying.
I hope ignacio's car get's trapped and his dogs eat him for survival
...
Edgelord has arrived
Haha oh shit, how recent was this?
>IT'S HAPPENING!
>stream is using old footage that's just been looping
>only new information just shows the water level is going down
I doubt it'll happen tonight. Lets wait until the rain starts later this week.
How do we get Trump to hold back funds since their a sanctuary state?
Who do we tweet advocating no federal funds be given for this.
is this a legit happening? or bullshit?
I just want to know that it's really happening
If kek wills it, then it is happening.
I just woke up and America is greater than yesterday. Keep going lads!
Not a resident anymore, but Oroville native here.
Evacuation is going smooth, everyone I know is getting out fine. A lot of the residents live in the hills or outside city limits, so there are fortunatly lots of folks who don't have to clear out the town.
> spillway working as expected
What fucking faggotry is this?
Also, in case anyone is within the evac zone, here are some evac centers I snagged off the reddit live thread
For anyone who might be in the area, here are some evac areas I found on the Reddit live thread:
Camelot Equestrian Park, Clark Rd. and 70 in Paradise accepting large animals
Pleasant Valley High School Gym: 1475 East Ave. Chico, CA
Glenn County Fairgrounds accepting people, animals, RVs Paradise Alliance Chuch, Clark Rd. people and small animals
Elks Lodges in Paradise and Chico accepting up to 100 RVs people and small animals in ballroom
Black Butte Lake Campgrounds opening to evacuees
American Legion: 6550 Skyway, Paradise
Paradise Pines Association in Magalia open for 150 campers
Paradise Lutheran Church has room for 12 RVs (Gwen, she is also offering her home. her number 327-7007)
Rolling Hills Casino in Corning offering limited space for RVs (they don't have much space and are filling up soon)
In Motion Parking Lot in Chico
Neighborhood Church: 2801 Notre Dame Blvd, Chico
Nothing is happening. The spillway is specifically engineered to manage excess water flow that cannot pass through the dam (because lots of water, and small dam). Engineers/architects predicted a risk and implemented a successful work-around.
When?
Thanks B
It's had a huge hole in it for a week now. Here's a picture, with Godzilla added for dramatic flair
The main spillway failed. The emergency spillway is an uncontrolled one. The erosion of the spillway has been significant.
>months of drought
>water restrictions
Dam Bursts?
Which has no effect on flow rate
this is a whole lot of nothing and memes
it's rained a lot this year, what scientists would refer to as a metric fuck-ton of water.
HOLY FUCK GODZILLA'S INVOLVED IN THIS??
SAVE THEM TRUMP!
#notmydam
Looting confirmed
"Total number of people affected by evacuation orders is approximately 130,000"
- some jabroni from Reddit live thread
It has no effect on flow rate, but depending on the geology of the area around the spillway, the several days of rain expected to begin on Wednesday could be a problem.
remember that Sup Forums ?
911 burning twin towers and pentagon were depicted in your currency but also another to come catastrophic event involving a massive tidal wave.
could it be it?
youtube.com
>The main spillway failed.
I bet they didn't test it since the damn was built.
No. I beg God for the flood to wash us away. Let his divine judgement cleanse the shit from our state.
Looks like we have a civil engineer and a geologist finding themselves at a crossroad.
KEK DEMANDS SACRIFICES
>Government please save us from the drought!
>Government please save us from the flood!
Commiefornia everyone.
LETS USE MEME MAGIC TO DESTROY THIS SHIT
We should know right ouwe watergeus
Geology of the area is BIG FUCKING HOLE. The broken spillway has been dumping tons of water all week, despite the giant hole, in a desperate attempt to avoid overflow.
ITS OVA!
They were running around 55,000 for several days after they noticed the erosion on the spillway. When the emergency spillway started flowing over, the shut the main spillway down in order to inspect the erosion and determined they could run it at 100,000cfs
BLOCK FED FUNDS FOR SANCTUARY STATES.
They must bend the knee!
If there's so many people there why don't they just drink the water? Everyone could do like a gallon a day at least.
PRAISE KEK
What's the soil ? Porosity?
Aspiring geologist here, fuck, should probably bring the subject at hydrogeology class this wednesday
fuck
le sigh.
This is happening in the TRUMP part of CA. Jesus.
kek'd from your description of events
>engineer here
Their cucked government still has the citizens under water rationing orders from the drought and refuses to lift the limits.
TURN ON CNN!
ANTHONY BOURDAIN
>le sigh
le fucking kill yourself
Is it wrong? That's what I heard some guy saying on one of the streams about 30 minutes ago. Plz inform.
The forecast shows rain all next week too
HOLD ONTO YOUR BUTTS BOIS
KEK'S WILL BE DONE
UH OH, HE WILLS IT
holy crap, dam failure confirmed in the $50 US bill
youtube.com
I have no idea. Red clay, does that help? I'm not a geologist, I just grew up there
maybe we can get a major earthquake to happen now also.
Man, you are fucked.
Haha it's wrong but funny.
They started the inspection but then didn't realize that the reservoir was at full capacity and that emergency spillway will not able to handle all the stuff. So they were forced to start up the main spillway again despite the fact that it has a huge hole in it, otherwise the emergency spill would have failed and the water would have gone all over the place.
Be honest Sup Forums would you?
Remember California - You asked for this. May Kek spare the innocent.
This would be the "random event" that would finish it off...

>pic related
>godzilla
>because a damaged dam isn't dramatic enough
i love my country.
Save us cure-chan!
Save california!
>Trump part of California
Kek.
Save us, Cure-chan!
DESTROY! ,SHADILAY!
the livestream is showing a perfectly intact spillway..want to see new footage of this going on
They should of built an ark. Let them drown with the heretics
Thanks
>mentally disabled heavyset woman refusing to evacuate
...
It's not the north, don't put the blame on the north. We want out (state of Jefferson). We'd be a red state.
Defund the cucks down south, please.
Yeah, thought so. All of my family and friends are evacuated and out of harms way, so no one I'm close to is in danger, but it's still my childhood home that's in danger.
Little ol' Oroville is as shitty of a town as you've ever seen, full of poverty and sadness, but they're good people. They don't deserve this :(
...
>the livestream is showing a perfectly intact spillway..want to see new footage of this going on
The problem isn't the structure itself, but the landscape around it. The whole thing is a concrete-topped, earthen gravity dam. The unpaved terrain isn't meant to resist erosion from water flow, but could be vital to the integrity of the spillway and main dam structure.
If voted red in the election. Butte County, California, check for yourself
Trump girl lives there, we have to save her!!
THEY TOLD US TO CONSERVE WATER AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
Just a reply coming in from Oroville native, most of everyone is evacuated, addicts are looting and any one in the thermalito and near the green bridge of Oroville probably fucked. My neighborhood is on a hill so my house might get flooded or looted.

erosion that has lead to a failure of the structure. Failure of the
auxiliary spillway structure will result in an uncontrolled release
of flood waters from Lake Oroville.
Immediate evacuation from the low levels of Oroville areas
downstream is ordered. From Oroville to Gridley...low level areas
around the feather river will experience rapid river rises.
This is not a Drill. This is not a Drill. Repeat this is not a
drill.

I'm a Stanislaus County shithead and I want Jefferson to happen.
No happening guys, sorry...
Unless we get an earthquake.....
Or a shitload of rain, really fast.
