Raw dam sensor data and video links at the end of the post.
TLDR - unexpected erosion at the base of the dam's emergency overflow spillway could lead to collapse of that portion of the project, leading to catastrophic flooding in oroville, california.
A Quck Rundown:
>tons of rain this year in northern california
>coming out of a long drought
>officials didn't want to dump the water in the reservoir.
>more rain forces them to use their spillway (first time in decades)
>a poor repair from previous damage fails last week
>damage is getting worse and worse, eating into the hillside that is structurally integral to the dam itself
>they let the reservoir fill to the emergency spillway levels and it goes over
>more rain. water floods a parking lot next to the emergency spillway
>spills over a road, and the emergency spillway is now experiencing erosion at its foundation
>reopen the overflow spillway (the damaged one) to bring leves below the emergency spillway level to prevent structural failure of the emergency spillway.
>the emergency spillway is the threat, not the dam
>if that collapses, about 20-40' (~7-12m) of water pours into the river valley above oroville
>that further erodes the hill maybe towards the dam.

sorry, thought you were on about the dam thing.
the last thread died. i thought this was the replacement thread.
my bad.
You not mistaken, my american friend. This thread is about Kek revenge upon commifornia at whole. This includes dam.
What's weird, is that my YT recommendations suddenly was filled with footage of spillway emergency discharges about a week ago. I had never looked up anything like that previously. Does this mean we are gonna start seeing hot ass knives in the news?
Lakewood, CA here. Real comfy.
9/11 part 2: torrential jiggaboo
2/13 is inside job
RIP. I drove through that tree with my family when I was just a little kid in the 90s. Bummer.
its a dam shame is what it is
Let's legalize pot, what's the worse that could happen?
>tons of rain this year in northern california
>coming out of a long drought
>officials didn't want to dump the water in the reservoir
Califags have no concept of cycles in nature.
They assumed the drought would last forever because LOL SUVs.
>the spillway will collapse in 1 hr
>12 hrs later
Let's face it, it's not happening.
The top-inland 3% of the state is doomed would be more accurate.
>Big Trees Association
man, that some repressed homosexual rage
>it's raining
HUUUWWWAAAAAA OUR STATE IS DYING, GIVE US MONIES FOR THEM PROGRAAAAAMS
>it's sunny
HUUUUUUWWWAAAAA OUR STATE IS DYING, GIVE US MONIES FOR THEM PROGRAAAAMS
I don't even.
Me too, but it was the 80s.
Water threatening people's homes. This is is why we have flood insurance.
Lord KeK is showing them his chaotic power. Shadilay.
Kek
man, we actually are the socialist republic of portugal XD
If they leave the US they would actually be third world in record time. They boast a massive economy... economy driven by them being in the states.
Did it make a sound when it fell?
RIP big ass tree
Nice
They cut out so much of it's base. That tree was murdered.
wtf is this real?!?!??
That tree is fucking awesome. I'm glad I got to see it.
Maybe the tree wouldn't have fallen if they hadn't cut a big hole through it.

>carve out 50% of the base of a tree
>it falls over
>oh no, how could this possibly have happened?
the absolute state of California right now
the leafs are right. there should be consequences. ents should rise and do something.
>Guys, what's happening in California right now?
Eating some oatmeal, gonna go lift soon
>This state is doomed?
Well, yeah-but we were doomed long before the rain started.
BREAK THE DAM
It won, though.
is this the one depicted in all the cartoons or are these common?
>carve tree, making it unstable and probably killing it in the long run
>HUUUUUUWAAA why did our tree fall? The weather is a big meanie!!!
I don't even.
That'd be nice. But i hear what's happening is in a right wing part of the state. f
and yet, it survived for over a century until this year
...
Sounds like a slow death.
So? Are you implying that cutting a tunnel through it didn't make it unstable and started a slow process of death for the plant?
Add california to THE LIST
What time do you think they'll start air lifting bags of rocks into the hole? I'd like to see that.
Just spent 5 weeks travelling the US. Does not surprise me at all. Bridges, roads, buildings, dams all built by white men 50 years ago and crumbling to the point of no return. Spics, fags and women don't care about infrastructure or long term planning, only virtue signalling and hedonism. Even the infrastructure in nicer areas of LA, NY and SF are dirtier and more run down then poorer Australian suburbs
TLDR: The USA peaked in the 60s and is crumbling
>Ending the California drought and Sanctuary cities
Under budget and ahead of schedule!
lads if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
>That tree was raped with a saw.
Lmao fuck California, what a shitty state. I hope they drown in flood waters and the fault lines sink their cities into the oceans. Stupid fucks.
Pretty sure it's the only one. They used to be able to drive cars through it.
But yeah, its days were numbered as soon as they carved the tunnel through it, I don't think even the Calicucks had any real illusions about that.
meanwhile, this prestigious beauty blessed by robin hood has been standing for 1000 (ONE THOUSAND) years. americans BTFO how can you even compete?
This land is punishing these sick fucks that don't belong here, that torment and rape her.
They don't deserve her, so she is falling into the dirt and taking all those who stand in her way.
you sick degenerate fucks don't deserve her and never will as you don't belong here.
Crumble in the soil, burn to ash, fall over from the wind, and wash away from falling rain.
She never belonged to you. You don't deserve her.
God is bringing his judgement
I thought it was 4000 years or something, otherwise, it wouldn't be know as the old oak in the tale of robin hood.
This tree in California is 4,848 years old.
Are those support beams or something?
They should build a souvenir shop in it.
n-no
Californians are not reliable enough to safe gaurd the redwood trees
I know some fag bitch from Norcal I hope this wipes them all out.
that doesnt count due to lack of A E S T H E T I C S
>Going to lift
>At 4AM
Rock those weights you crazy bastard
i guess the tree looked like nazi so antifa had to kill it to death
wheres the leafs
Got to say, at least in Australia we are building shit and maintaining it, CFMEU or not. "Infrastructure" is the word bogans use to pretend they are intelligent. If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.
RIP tree... Always liked those trees.
raping a dog behind the tree
Kek is punishing their degeneracy
stop
...
There is TOO MANY PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA
not to mention too many of the wrong people in california.
We need ebola chan now.
Yeah thats what the dog was trying to say
California - We dont need you America
We want to break free
We have the tech industry and many Mexican workers, we are super rich and progressive
. . . HELP US AMERICA
Stop raping the dogs.
underrated
...
Ohh no think of all the poor canadaians that just died my condolences.
>At least one observer suggested that the tree fell victim to the profit motive and greed, not just a storm.[34] It was one of several trees that were mutilated to promote tourism.[1][35] California State Parks supervising ranger Tony Tealdi said that today the hollowing out of a tree would not be permitted.[36]
TREE LIVES MATTER
NO MORE DEAD TREES
Every tiem
my friend told me he and his family evacuated due to a flood
You kidding? Look at that fucking thing. It's seen some shit. It looks exactly like what an ancient tree should look like.

Gas the orcs, Entwar now
This is a bad omen

I just went to pacific theaters to see lego batman. That theatre sucks just as much as I remember and now Edwards sucks too. Harkins is goat though until the ghetto kids catch on and ruin it too.
>California State Parks supervising ranger Tony Tealdi said that today the hollowing out of a tree would not be permitted.
>trees not allowed to be mutilated
>baby-boy dicks still mutilated en masse
kek
fucking strayans
The bigger they are the harder they fall!
Feels good honestly, we have inadequate reservoirs in California because muh environment.

you sick degenerate fucks don't deserve her and never will as you don't belong here.

She never belonged to you, she was never meant for you. You don't deserve her.
Racist drumpf supporters did it.
the sequoias here are absolute wonders
CA has its problems but it sure is a beautiful state..
...
And now you understand why Trump went on about infrastructure spending.
All Jew commies will die in CA.
Wrath of god.

Honestly, I wish I could deport everyone invading this land they pillage.
bend the knee to your lord, california
Australians for greatest ally
