10-DAY OUTLOOK: No rain until Wednesday evening. Then, 4.8 inches of rain over the next week. Pic related shows we can expect 1.4948 * 4.8 = 7.2 inches to show up in the Official CDEC Oroville Dam Rain Data (with so-so certainty)
7.2 inches of rain incoming.
RESULT: WIDESPREAD DESTRUCTION
HAPPENING NOW: De-escalation. Situation under control.
Repairs HUGELY necessary to prevent a redux of this near-disaster. EMERGENCY SPILLWAY OUT OF ORDER; MAY CAUSE DEATH AND MASSIVE PROPERTY DAMAGE. RESIDENTS ARE TO EVACUATE
WATER POLICE SAY EVACUATION IS NOT OVER. NOT READY TO CANCEL IT. DYNAMIC SITUATION.

So, just read through all previous threads.. The main spillway seems pretty far from the 770ft wall of concrete. If they just let this continue, would it really affect the main dam?
if kek wills it, Sacramento shall perish by the flood.
Michael Young
two problems
erosion into the side of the hill that supports the main dam and erosion on the backside of the main dam from the fast outflow

CA then: WE NEED RAIN THIS ENDLESS DROUGHT IS KILLING US!
CA now: PLS NO MORE RAIN OUR INFRASTRUCTURE CANT HANDLE IT!
Maybe they can put all those illegal immigrants and rapefugees to work fixing it.

The dam itself isn't concrete, it's made of earth with some mining tailings for support.

Nuke hits dam.

Nothing will happen. As per usual.

>CURRENT SIZE OF THE HOLE They have lowered the water level to 5 feet under the spillway ledge. They want to lower the level another 50 FEET before the rains start later this week. The size of the hole has quadrupled (at least) from releasing the previous 5 feet of water at 100,000cfs. They are planning to release 50 more feet of water at 100,000cfs The damage to the hillside should be the main focus of failure at this point. If the hill decides to slide, the failure would be much worse than the emergency spillway collapsing. If they are unable to lower the water by those 50 feet, the emergency spillway will begin overflowing when the rains come in and we will be looking at the emergency spillway failure back into the spotlight. cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/queryF?s=ORO&d=13-Feb-2017 12:20&span=12hours

Almost 3.4 million acre feet. Or around 1.2 trillion gallons.

This is definitely a.... fluid.... situation

Why don't they lay a steel sheet over the hole and extended area?

>770ft wall of concrete It is a earthen dam, not a concrete one.
the worry is that the erosion will go right to the lake and the it will break.
Oliver Jones

Oliver Rivera
so this part gets eroded and leads to dam failure, thats the plan right lads?
Eli Miller
The dam itself doesn't have much earthquake danger. Most of that is on the coast. But if they did have an earthquake on the dam they would be fucked.
Matthew Bailey
YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS NEED TO STOP THIS SHIT. I'M TIRED OF POLICE AND NEWS CAMERAS KNOCKING ON MY FUCKING DOOR. I'M A FUCKING HUMAN, NOT A MEME

This is hilarious. Why can't sharters into infrastructure? We've got infrastructure still usable from the fucking Middle Ages. Hey you want to borrow some engineers?

A meteor the size of the moon slams into the dam at near relativistic speeds, causing the entire world to instantly explode and slowly form a new asteroid belt around the sun over the course of the next ten million years.

That's the Afsluitdijk, hans. Zuiderzeewerken, not Delta

Yep. Fingers crossed.

For the user last thread who wanted an explanation.
Basically, the dam is like a huge fat kid living on handouts.
For the past several years the state of California, rather than provide nourishing, nutritional food at little Timmy's school, has been outsourcing the catering to a cheap company who supply nothing but tater tots and beans. Now, what Timmy really needs is a healthy diet and some medical attention, since his BMI is 80, but California insist on giving him the bare minimum nutrition to keep him alive. As a result, Timmy now feels incredibly ill, and really, REALLY needs to take a shit.
All of a sudden, Timmy's teacher has noticed that Timmy has begun to shart himself in class. It's dribbling out of his pant leg and beginning to spread near other children. His teacher right now is scrambling to mop it up, and screaming at Timmy to get to the bathroom.
But it's too little, too late. While the State of California should have been keeping an eye on Timmy's health and ensuring he was looked after properly, they've instead been spending all the allocated lunch funds on giving tap dancing lessons to Pablo, the little gay Mexican kid who transferred to the school just a few months ago. Now, everyone on the school board is panicking because this poor sick kid is filling the building with an ever increasing tide of shit, and there's nothing they can do except watch in horror and try not to drown.
Jason Carter
is this actually going to happen or what?
Jose Barnes
Funny how they have started censoring the inflow data. They had it available at first and now there's nothing.

I bet nothing happens.
Leo Cook
Nothing will happen, fearmongering retard
Nolan Cruz
More likely the backside of the dam is eroding right now from the fast outflow and will lead to failure
Ian Clark
See this post for the current size of the hole. You can't lay a steel sheet over it, the concrete section of the spillway is ~170 feet wide. The hole is several hundred feet wide at this point at the top and much wider at the base. The bottom half of the spillway is essentially gone at this point.
Brayden Murphy
all memes and kek stuff aside, you gusy really really don't want this to happen. ti's very bad for everyone.
John Wood
I was just using that terminology so my post made sense. We are learning a lot about dams.. I suggest we erect a Sup Forums dam.
Samuel Williams
There is no hole anymore, it's just a ramp to nothingness.
Gavin Rivera
On the image that user posted about the plane, there is a box that says interesting. They put no. I was keking because it was.

the "hole" is gone
erosion is a bitch
Lincoln Brown
Im pretty sure an impact like that would take out the galaxy
Austin Barnes
I think that's the reason they're trying to get the water level down ~50 feet. If that hill starts showing signs of failure they'll just blast the emergency spillway.
Noah Williams
I really don't see that happening.
Zachary Turner
love it
Alexander Richardson

Jack Hernandez
because its california capitalism at its finest
home of the state that let enron export energy excess energy from the state until they had a deficit and then buy it back later that day for a loss while they were buying/selling the stocks at peaks
they dont want to build something to last forever. they want it to be like your iPhone and you have to get a new one every 6 months
Austin Nguyen

wont know for sure until friday, 10 days of rain starts wednesday.

Thanks americans for destroying your own dam for my entertainment.
Jack Moore
How does it affect me?
Brayden Davis
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS.
Easton Lee
They say that they don't know why the erosion occurred. Could a sink hole be opening beneath the spillway?
>the spillway was damaged because the flowrate was too low
Nobody's buying what you're selling, Gabe Newell.
James Cruz
I wish we had a real drawfag to do her
Jack Rivera
It's an observation plane from PG&E. The company that runs the hydro station to the dam.
Carter Collins
Yep, if the damn getting close to failure, they will blast the emergency spillway and let it outflow
Gavin Davis
Imagine what happens when the Mosul Dam collapses. When, not if.
Elijah Gonzalez
that is what im trying to figure out. The tail number is kinda sketchy. They are probably doing evaluations of something but I'm not sure. That is why I was thinking its lidar, possibly making a 3d map of the water level in the surrounding area etc.
Caleb Jackson
Why cant that explain it? I know for a fact that water cooling systems get damaged if they aren't running at fast enough speed.
Samuel Hernandez
This is basically a metaphor for 'refugees welcome' in Europe Why is Kek so ironic?
Brandon Parker
The idiots let too much water through and the runoff ate a hole underneath it.
Carson Hill
TURN ON CNN!!
Zachary Nguyen
You dumbfuck. Do you live below the dams elevation?
Because the laws of hydrodynamics state that liquids will always flow downwards with gravity unless there is another force acting on them. If you live below that dam, you WILL be flooded.
