>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

Inflow's been going up and down and we still have a full week of rain ahead of us
Brody Howard
Witnessed & Agreed
Mason Diaz
Fuck off cunt it's not happening. We should go to beddy byes.
Mason Martin
"and they needed money for illegals." way to pathetically try to attach unrelated shit to this. also, you're a clearly a fuck-up
Colton Gray
supposed dam contractor guy claimed it was inflow through the gates upstream which did not include rain falling on the lake itself or on its shores or areas that drain directly into the lake
Connor Taylor
Does this mean we will see huge inflow when the rain gets heavy up the river in an hour or so?

You should feel honoured, you are being sacrificed in order to cripple cali's economy and water supply. You are truly an american hero, embrace it.
Adrian Murphy
Hope you bought floaties commie
Henry Nguyen
The inflow measurement fluctuates ~20k down and back every ~8 hours, so you can't accurately judge whether the new reading at any given hour is high or low without examining what part of that cycle it's in.
If the dam breaks, the state of Jefferson is assured.
Samuel Clark
"I was a dam builder Across the river deep and wide Where steel and water did collide A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound But I am still around I'll always be around, and around and around and around and around..."
Is this man kek?
Lucas Green
the inflow is an 'inferred' measurement, which means it is 'calculated' based on other measurements, and assumptions in the CDEC model.
It is not 'rely upon' information. The 'trend' is more useful than the hourly published data.
Brody Myers
Digits for Rain-chan
Dylan Foster
DESU the real happening is all the rivers downstream that are already swollen with the water they've been releasing. The Rain is just starting to really pick-up now and that shits gonna flood out over some levees and shit
Nolan Myers
His name was Cali user....His name was Cali user....
Matthew Scott
34 men died during the construction of the oroville dam, could their spirits be looking out over us?
Ethan Williams
So what's the end goal? Hope the dam just spills over and the water to erode the dirt part of the dam? The spillway to burst?
Justin Brooks
If we're playing that game I wonder what kind of shenanigans the World Cup in Qatar will amuse us with
Kevin Cox
Peter Fonda and Snake Plisken surf the wave that destroys the town.
Logan Wilson
May you rest in american portion sized pieces Cali user.
Kek is on our side. Might not be soon, but cali will flood.
Lucas Peterson
I hope you and your loved ones stay safe user. Chalk this all up to morbid curiousity. How often do we get to see a chance to see a massive dam collapse?
What is the best song that honors the republicans who will loose their lives in order to cripple California? Also what should we refer to these hero anons as?
Cooper Bailey
Morbid curiosity is definitively what drives me.
Too bad there's probably not going to be live coverage when the Mosul Dam crumbles, that's the other massive dam pushed to the breaking point.
Colton Bell
go out and hold a water welcome-sign
Jason Bailey
Embrace the waters diversity brother. Kek wills it. Tolerance and proggerssive will make you a real human bean.
Connor Kelly
Including the 1.5" since the start of the storm, beginning a couple of hours ago...
Kek, I've never asked for much but please let it rain.
Ryder Diaz
If you are a girl you can stay at my place
We don't have dams here
Jaxson Diaz
Has anything actually changed since the emergency spillway was first used? Any significant spillway erosion? There was meant to be a week of heavy rain but it seems pretty dead now.
Julian Mitchell
loves me some tool.
Ryan Nguyen
check again mate.
Jace Reyes
Hey guys, I some contract work with the organizations that are overseeing the Oroville situation currently, and I'll clear up some of the confusion you may be having regarding the hourly tabular data.
"RES ELE" is the waterline above sea level. This is measured at a sensor near the main spillway inlet.
"STORAGE" is the amount of water in Acre-feet in the reservoir. This isn't directly sensed, but is calculated based off of the previous elevation measurement.
"OUTFLOW" tracks the movement rate of water ONLY through the main spillway gates. It doesn't take into account water lost through any other mechanism (emergency spillway, seepage, or through the power plant).
"INFLOW" is the amount of water that feeds into the reservoir upstream. This number doesn't necessarily correlate with any precipitation because it doesn't track water that falls directly into the lake or the catchment area south of the inlets.
"RIV REL" is the total amount of water released through the combination of the main spillway and water diverted through the generators. This number wouldn't include any water lost via the emergency spillway or any other route.
"RAIN" is the YTD precipitation.
"BAT VOL" is the output voltage of the battery backup for the sensor suite. Why is this important? Voltage variance in the system cause instrumental drift in the measurements. Voltage data serves as a correction factor for these measurements.
I can't provide any pictures because we are not allowed to have phones or photography equipment on-site. I will say that we don't expect the emergency spillway to be used in the foreseeable future based on current forecasts, BUT we don't know how much longer we will be able to use the main spillway.
The big concern right now is that the support of the main spillway could erode all the way up to the gates. If this happens, it's a full-blown disaster because the reservoir could become permanently breached. But, it's holding for now.
Tyler Garcia
inflows back up to 31k
Justin Smith
Damn, thanks for the clarification on the battery. I was so confused by that.
Asher Cook
>"RAIN" is the YTD precipitation.
And watis YTD then? Is it from all the lake drainage basin or only ORO rain gauge?
Anthony Roberts
Is there not a single live stream of the dam?
From the front I mean, where we can actually see shit go down??
Justin Lewis
I live in within 40 mins from oroville and its raining fucking hard if that inflow doesn't spike soon then theyre fucking with the numbers
Caleb Ortiz
not much to see from the front anyways, its too dark and too far away. Maybe tommorow.
Then you probably live in a shithole packed with abos mate, sorry
Adrian Cox
about 2 hours to sunrise
Nolan Gutierrez
That's from an earlier thread. I question the claims about the impact of battery voltage because as an electronics guy that makes absolutely no sense at all. You'd have a voltage regulator because a lead-acid battery could be realistically anywhere from about 10.5V when it's dead, to maybe as much as 14.4V if that's what it was designed for, to maybe 13.8V or in this case 13.4V if you're just float charging in a safe range.
But that's what the guy said and it seemed like he knew what he was talking about with the rest of the figures.
That's correct. According to the NOAA maps the ground in the area feeding the dam is already moist, meaning that the water will travel more quickly into the lake and and not be absorbed as much into the ground.
Dominic Collins
check the weather, cant keep outflow at that rate forever.
Henry Cook
Precipitation is on the uptick now. It's basically gonna be down to whether they've lowered the water in the reservoir enough to withstand the upcoming rain. They're not gonna be able to increase outflow much without flooding areas downstream, and they're also worried about erosion on the main spillway creeping up towards the flood gates.
Their goal was 850ft, but they'd intended to reach it much sooner, and forecast predictions have changed a lot since they set it.
Jackson Bell
It's not happening.
Sorry to spoil your wet dream, cucks.
Anthony Harris
mfw, you're probably some dumb liberal who bought tons of cheap land around the dam, but are now having second thoughts.
Easton Cook
But the power plant isnt on. Is it?
Benjamin Butler
Yeah it's 4:40 am here and the rain is pouring. I might have new lakefront property soon
It increased, you shulld inceace your strip and number on chart.
And afternoon greetings to you, as our Thread Comp Math Team.
That is about 0.27 inches
Samuel Evans
I have seen this exact same comment and name in these threads. Get the fuck out bot
Wyatt Scott
>Then you probably live in a shithole packed with abos mate, sorry yes, we can see that from his flag
Landon Hill
>That is about 0.27 inches
I mean, for 2:00 today. I mean as for my arithmetics.
And previous point - 01:00 sensor number is also "falsificated". I mean post-corrected lol ok
Mason Hill
Need some more hype music, preferably from Vice City.
Henry Sanchez
you might have new lakebottom property soon after that
Jeremiah Morales
Same dude said >The power plant itself is inactive, but up to 15k CFS can still be diverted through it
An extra 15k is scraping the barrel. Last outflow chart I saw had it all the way down to 60k. So if this dude knows they have an extra 15k if they divert it through the power generation section, then my guess is they're seriously worried about how much outflow they can maintain without the hill getting btfo.
Liam Morales
Oh yeah, I'd noticed some of the earlier numbers update occasionally when I hit F5.
I guess that's what it means when it says "Warning! This data is preliminary and subject to revision.".
I'll go back through the last couple of days and fix it and try not to forget in future.
Isaiah Perry
>oroville >liberal
don't speak, when you have no idea what you're talking about, you powerbottom
How's your burnt house twink boy?
Ian White
they're probably minimizing the flow through the spillway because every meter of damage is a meter they have to rebuild also because the damm will fall over
Jordan Murphy
they expect one of us in the water brother
Adrian Mitchell
They're still pouring water through it. You can just subtract 'OUTFLOW' from 'RIV REL' and get the amount they're releasing.
Aaron Adams
If they can put 15k through the generators it makes me wonder why they wouldn't do that immediately.
Maybe they need to get something set up or maybe it risks the damaging the turbines in some fashion?
Henry Lee
None of this still explains the inconsitency of the inflow.
Easton Thomas
Happening called off, right? Dam Level is too low now?
James Reyes
Is it that hard to digest facts? kek Denialism is a mental sickness, you know.
Zachary Stewart
imagine their surprise when they find all of us in it
