>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, 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 and rek it even more

Oh, fuck it My highlighting filter was in lowercase, so i thought that /odg/ is currently dead and made this thread. But the Previous Thread hasn't reached bumplimit yet.

it better fucking happen, but with no loss of life

Bogpill me on this new Oroville Dam meme is this the new 9/11 truthing?

IF this happens whats the damage?

nothing will happen

Quick, Give me the link to the video of the dam bursting!
....OH WAIT
Robert Gonzalez
Califug here, again.
I'm dead serious that NOBODY is talking about the dam. You can meme it all you want but the reality is that nothing's gonna happen. It hasn't rained here in 3 days, and most of the "damage" cause by rainfall has been resolved. The news is practically back to just reporting about wetback nigger gangbangers killing cops and the cucks around here doing nothing about it. I understand that you guys had fun, but now you're just literally wasting you're time. Might as well kill yourselves at this point.

Told you bitches, Kek aint shit in the land of gold.
Jayden Gutierrez
There won't be much gold left after you'll have to spend 3B to fix that shit. Oh wait, you won't fix it.
Gavin Collins
It's not happening, guys.
Time to pack it up.

/commiefornia/ here, traffic is an absolute nightmare trying to get over the altamont its flooding everywhere and it wont stop raining. Is god punishing california?
Owen Cooper
Rainy season doesn't end until June ;)

hows it going at the dam, dudes?

It's dam wet here dad!

Reminder, summer is going to suck. We are going to have record growth and have a hot muggy, mosquito infested summer with record highs.
Ayden Sanders
If this dam breaks, I will take Aqua as my eternal waifu.
Joshua Martinez
It is almost time.
Ayden Roberts
this is what it looked like on the 18th. can't imagine what it looks like now. anyone got any recent photos?
Hudson Richardson
Why not fix it with migrants? Community work builds character. And walls.
Samuel Garcia
Bet time
Nathan Brooks
They have been working to shore up the emergency spill way and water levels are down.
Matthew Perry
yes, with shitty shotcrete that won't hold up if that spillway actually has to be used
Is that total dam failure or emergency spillway failure?
Nathan Allen
Total dam I believe
Jordan Hughes
SMASHING F5!

I heard it's fast-set grout
Angel Myers
i bet you also heard the earth is round

FULL HOURLY RESULTS
Cooper Garcia
The water will peel it off like wet scab in the first 5 minutes.
Josiah Anderson
Still going up
Alexander Cooper
If there really was no further risk, why would they even bother doing this? Unless someone decided that this pr-stunt vs the cost of it was a good deal.
Grayson Walker
It's just there to hold the bags in place, plus it's been over a week since they poured it so it's had plenty of cure time.
Besides, the earth around it will still erode.
Dominic Reyes
84KCFS FUCK YEAH
Bentley Sanders
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
Luke Barnes
HA HA OW WOW
EROSION-SAMA ^_^;;;
Nathaniel Nelson
lol.., i made that a few days ago.
Asher Turner

Jacob Moore
I've been out of the loop for 3 days on everything. I read the thing at the top which is a pretty great summation. Are there hints that the dam will break or what? I want a real happening.
Jayden Gomez
Concrete doesn't set properly until about a month after pouring.
You would walk on it fine, but it couldn't take a raging torrent of debris filled water.
Ryan Myers
Does anyone have a way to find out the exact makeup of the hill in terms of what kinds of rock and where? There's clearly a lot of it that's just mud, but how much?
That main spillway could be creating plunge pools and unseen irregular erosion paths like a motherfucker. We could see pieces of this hill just snap off and tunnels being eroded backwards, inside and/or under the hill
Bentley Richardson
If it only emergency spills a little bit, that should reduce the damage, especially if it was, as it kind of looked, starting to cut a channel under the top of the main spillway.
If it emergency flows a lot, then we just have to hope for a live stream where we can watch the concrete plugs tumble down the hill.
Justin Hernandez
SHADILAY! AQUA-CHAN WASH THE COMMIES AWAY!
Oliver Rodriguez
Inflow keeps above outflow, causing them to continue using the emergency spillway.
If that keeps being used, chances of ruining the structural integrity of the main dam increase
Angel Flores
Fun fact if you visit the Hoover Dam they'll explain that the concrete in the middle still hasn't cured, and that they installed a network of piping to pump water through the concrete in order to draw off the heat generated by curing so that it would cure faster.
Nolan Myers
Please let commiefornians get BTFO. yeah yeah muh conservative part but I don't care. It will serve as California's incompetence.
Julian Butler
Not much difference in hardness after the first 7 or 14 days, but you're right that the more time it has the better
Jordan Ortiz

Give me the grid co-ordinates of the area.
Angel Howard
Long-term risk: CCC+, outlook stable Short-term risk: B, outlook positive
Lincoln Ward
It's hard to believe the spillway is 60k CFS. Reposting as it was late on the last thread.
Leo Martinez
...
Ayden Parker
They could drill lots of small holes to the dam, starting at the top and continuing to drill them lower as the water level decreases.
Problem solved.
Adrian Young
holy shit we actually recycled a thread for once
Hunter Green
there isn't any good info on that afaik, they though that the main spillway wouldn't have eroded so fast even after the concrete failed because there was supposed to be bedrock right under it, but they were very wrong
Ayden Cruz
Can't compare the two pics, spray is too different, erosion canals are completely different and divert too much water.
Jeremiah Nguyen

The lake is rising now. Major debris in the diversion pool so they cannot use the normal outflow of 15k from the power plant, it is only 5k. Main spillway is still cranking at 60k outflow. This is a catch 22 for them. Need to move debris, they have to shut off the main spill way, shutting it off will cause the lake level to rise faster. what there doing to the emergency spillway is a joke, its like they are putting on a couple layers of paint and thinking a full throttle power washer wont do anything to it.
4.3 inches of rainfall over the last 48 hours in the catchment area. (roughly).
James Gonzalez
That would probably lead to a total failure of the dam.

Southern California reporting in. not giving a fuck about Northern California or your gay ass faggy dam.
