Californians should learn to accept criticism like we do here in Chicago. We're a giant city in a state that mostly hates us, and we embrace it. We love our crooked disgusting politics and our lovely weather. Learn to laugh about your garbage city/state/country and just throw some booze at your problems because nothing is going to be fixed in your lifetime because you and your opinions don't matter enough to warrant change. Embrace death and darkness since it is the only conclusion you can achieve, but at least you have enough control to not meet it painfully sober.

Has anyone died from this dam water yet

Will someone probably die from this dam water soon or should I start looking for a different wellspring of human suffering to whack it to

They dropped the lake level by 35 feet and the storms aren't supposed to be that bad so they cut output by 20% to repair the broken power station which will let them get rid of even more water so no this will not fulfill your lust for death and you should look elsewhere, sorry.

I always assumed that a meth lab explosion would take out Oroville, at least that one section of it. Oroville actually is massive in area compared to its population. It's a weird place in a lot of ways.

Normal light rain people can handle here. The real threat is if it ever really snows here there would literally be nowhere you'd be safe and you might as well just commit suicide because 10 cars are going to come flying through your house and kill your whole family any minute anyway.

The rain at Oroville isn't as important as the rain over the area that drains into the reservoir. There's always still hope for rapid snowmelt wiping the dam out come spring, as well.

Well assuming that as the elevations increase to the east of the town that will lead to higher rainfall amounts, which will collect in the lake. I'm not a hydrologist though.

Actually, rainfall moving east through Oroville itself puts very little water in the reservoir. The watershed is almost entirely north of the town and the dam. The forecast for Chico would give you a better idea of how much rain might actually end up in the reservoir.
