/odg/ - Oroville Dam General - lowered outflow edition

> What happened so far
- Main spillway got damaged - because of no maintaining - because Cali thought that they will never have that much water again - because of Muh Climate Change. And they needed the money for illegals.
- They closed the main spillway to inspect the damage
- Because of the closed main spillway, water went over the emergency spillway
- Emergency spillway was in even worse condition and it got BTFO pretty bad
- They opened the main spillway again, so that water doesn't go over the emergency spillway any longer
- Main spillway gets slowly BTFO and half of it is gone. But it is stable at the moment.
- They try to "repair" the emergency spillway because if rain hits hard, water will go over it again (even if they keep the main spillway open) and would rek the dam

Praise Aqua-sama!

First also Does anyone else get the feeling that this whole dam fiasco is somehow connected to pizzagate? I can't put it all together in my head right now but I just can't shake this feeling...

Kek

Get comfy

Praise Aqua!

>Outflow increasing
>Inflow decreasing

i-it's over...

kek has spoken

Reminder LA is flooding tomorrow, regardless of Oroville.

Haha nice fucking OP image.

In for heavy rains, and eroding main spillways!

Free ain't free you dumb socialist cucks!

Have no fear, the happening is here.
We're looking at a solid 12 hours of rain tomorrow. /odg/ is gonna be poppin!

Digits and 1 millions niggers wash out to sea.

pls rspnd

I can and will fill Aqua with bags of rocks

/odg/ has the best OC. Have there ever been comfier Sup Forums threads?

I don't have a mypillow but I do have a similar generic-brand memory foam pillow and they are maximum fucking comfy.

Absolutely shitty pillows intact I'm pretty sure the company is being sued. You'd have a better time sleeping on a bag or rocks.

As a native Californian,no I don't think so. I normally would have chalked this up to jewspiricy myself but this shit has been going on for almost 12 years now. Its also a result of CA selling its water to other states and beer companies. And using money to house illegals instead of funding infrastructure.

Not really, I mean unless Podesta was fucking kids in Oroville and wants to wash away the evidence I just don't see it.

Turkey had some good OC. Didn't last long enough though.

...

The flood will gonna trigger the san andreas fault and the west coast will gonna look like this

>simmer down grandpa not tonight
soon kek

...

My father in law got one for Christmas and he says it's great, what's your problem with the mypillow?

This,
You guys just don't really seem to understand how fucking retarded our State is ran

Wrong.

Wow I can't fucking spell
Intact > infact
Or > of.

...

Arnold could have fixed this but I guess he didnt know anything about it. Maybe after they make a netflix documentary about americas failinng infrastructure, the insidious league of faggots, democrats, will finally give a single hoot

hmmm. Next paycheck
I'm sure those bags o' rocks are gonna get blasted all the way to la from the dam and Ill be able to use one as a pillow kek

Is it sad I would seriously play that just to have fun with the fail modes?

No. It's solely Jerry Brown holding people hostage to extort more federal funds to push his projects through that are overbudget. The rivers probably won't even hit capacity. It's all fucking bullshit.

>Northeast mountains unaffected
Norcal master race for life, we're the best place in the world

It's the calm before the storm, both figuratively and literally. A bunch of oversized pebbles isn't going to save the spillway. The dam itself is unlikely to burst, but the spillway will almost certainly collapse and flood cuckville.

What are ya eating?

there is a lot of shit connected to pizzagate
but I don't think this is one of them

I have a 100% goose down, I'm a side sleeper best investment.

>Jerry Brown used sorcery to summon rainstorms
You're making him sound pretty competent

Ive lived here in CA all my life. I see the bullshit. My favorite was that Lee guy who got caught gun slinging in Mexico. This states politicians should all be tried for treason because of the amount of corruption. And they are trying to use illegal immigrants to change the demographic to keep themselves in power and to create a totalitarian state. Power is the most potent aphrodisiac.

I love the physics behind water and how a large amount of it is devestating.
I don't like the thought of people dying, but...

I'm heading for the spillway boys

I would unironically play a dam failure sim

Build wall

...

why

You'll be closer to the beach.

Today is the day, brothers.

I just looked it up and they are being sued for false health claims and maybe another class action lawsuit that they may have settled for $1 million.

I know everyone and their mothers is being sued these days over literally anything but it puts a bad taste in my mouth. I'll stick to my $30 pillow from target.

909 here, am I fucked in any way?

No, but I'm sure he paid off the folks at the dam to just look the other way. A man-made lake does not fill up overnight.

LA isn't flooding, it'll just rain for about 6 hours. Don't get your dick hard over a little rain.

fired.

guys im on sea level next to the gulf of mexico
how long will it take the water to rise?

i did some math, if they are letting out 100,000 cubic feet pet second, then the ocean is rising at 1 inch an hour world wide, dont they realize that they will just flood the coastal regions of the world letting this much water loose? california is trying to sing us

And nothing of value will be lost

omg 5 inches of rain its gonna be the next atlantis guis

derp

Because the farthest the extent of the damage would even be would be Lodi. And that is stretching it and the dam breaking has nothing to do with the fault line. And faults don't work like that either. Learn geology before spouting bullshit.

It is not over until it is fixed. If it is not fixed in a few months before the massive amount of snow melt, it's GG.

It is a slow happening.

yes, but only by the mere fact you are from 909. other than that, the dam will affect you in no way.

'
>Haha nice fucking OP image.
I think a dutch guy made it

I still want to put a few garden hoses into the water and leave them running, every inch helps

Maybe the spillway failing could be the catalyst for the State of Jefferson.

>It's not over until it's fixed

This is how I feel as well. Either until it's fixed or California enters another drought and the lake dries up

You're a big guy.

Oh I see you are an alien roach. No wonder you're so fucking stupid because you are a piece of shit alien. You've got to go back.

Welp, I decided to procrastinate on my physics HW again, looks like I'll be staying up with you guys for a while. Time to get /comfy/

Fuck the spillway. Go for the base of the dam

ktla.com/2017/02/16/10-inches-of-rain-headed-for-oroville-dam-area-revised-storm-forecast-warns/

Their goal of getting it down to 850' was based on a forecast of 7.2" of rain.

Oroville is fucked.

>State of Memerson
You really going to bring that walrus in here?

It took the state 20 years to replace a broken section of the bay bridge when originally it was built in two years. The corruption in this state is so bad that the damn will not be repaired in any meaningful way before the snow melt.

If every beaner in CA pissed in it, that would do it.

Death to all Californians. May you breathe water while your worthless liberal life fades from existence.

please respond i need to know when to evacuate beach, i assume water will stop when they stop pump but if dam fails how high will oceans rise, i calculate 400 foot rise world wide based on size of the lake?

Some areas may flood, but the basin itself has pretty efficient flood drainage. Remember the chase scene with the truck in T2? There's drains like that all over LA.

Now the hills, like in Hollywood? Some houses may slide. Landslides are a real issue. Depends on how saturated the ground is.

I'll bet parts of 5 will get blocked. Easy.

West Virginia broke off from Virginia. Shit happens. It's very rare but it happens and the situation in California has become hopeless for Republicans so...yeah. I feel like devolution of Federal power and splitting up several states is basically mandatory at this point. It has to happen sometime in the near future.

This truely is a slow happening then. We could have /odg/ threads for the next couple months or hell even until the end of the year as long as the shills don't get too bad!

The immigration ban executive order was the same order obama issued desu

libs just mad about it because it is Trump and not King Nig in charge.

That snacketeria looks comfy.

>113005368
You realize the drought in California was made up right? Ca was just exporting water and claiming it was a drought. Not only were they making bank by selling all of the water but they made bank by raising the price of the water because muh water conservation efforts.

If only we could assemble a local Oroville team to assembly line pass buckets of water to be dumped into the dam. Dammit.

Well, considering there were two small quakes under the dam yesterday as a direct result of water pressure being relieved...it's not completely impossible. But heavy rain in LA will most wash out to sea, and not put anything near the pressure on the San Andreas needed to make it slip. Some small faults might grumble, though.

No, our infrastructure is just shit. Blaming Trump for shitty infrastructure on week 4 is pointless.

GImme a good confy livestream, gonna go make myself delicious french toast. and hot chocolate.

Aaah I see. Well you have to pay for all them gibs somehow. I guess that's how they did it.

Feels good to see them getting fucked now.

We're still fixing the new bridge, too - it was broken before they were done building it.

The people that designed it had NO IDEA metal corrodes when exposed to salt water.

I hold my breath when I drive across it in heavy traffic.

nice

This is the west, when the legend becomes fact. Print the legend.

>It is not over until it is fixed. If it is not fixed in a few months before the massive amount of snow melt, it's GG.

I've lived in California my entire life and I can't remember anything ever getting fixed in three months. It takes us at least a year and a half to make another lane on a one-mile stretch of highway.

That was a time period where men bought states for sums of money. Where god actually existed in the minds of men, and land was merely their birthright to control.

If the combined money and insanity of leftists in Central Valley and LA can't make CalExit work, there's no way mild mannered republicans are going to go out on a limb.

Mostly just because Jefferson is a shit name.

Add a little backing powder and vanilla to your egg mixture. You'll thank me.

It will rain more in the spring and it's likely going to keep raining after that. There is a lot of snow up in the mountains. The dam is already well over it's average level. The snow run off and more rain will put it over the top.

Also, until the sinkhole problem is solved, the spillway is unusable because every time it is used, it destroys the hill and weakens the dam structure. The repairmen need a long period of time that they can close the main spillway without overflowing the emergency spillway. An ideal time to do this would be a drought. But.... all of our "EMERGENCY DROUGHT FUNDING" was spent on pamphlets to lecture people for 15 minute showers and meter-readers to come and ticket people using too much water. So realistically, this will be extremely difficult to repair quickly, especially if a lot of water arrives. In which case they cannot repair as the spillways need to be open.

Also remember, the first sinkhole showed up 12 years ago. So keep that in mind, it's a long happening.

Seriously, though, IMO President Trump's infrastructure plan should be priority #1. It's imperative we get the ball rolling on that not only for safety reasons but also for the massive economic benefit in the next 30 years.

10 inches in one day can't be a good thing

American education everyone.

His victims are using this as a distress call. They can't speak openly so they congregated together to slowly pick away at the spillway. Just think about it. Dam failing = broken hymen

Will this fucking thing collapse already?

THose niggah would get their pants sued in 10 mintue flat if they were where i am.

>motherfucking 5 months sub 0 with frequent melt ice cycle and fucking salt being poured on that shit

I am guessing sometime sunday at this point.
