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.

Budarita being confused with a margarita is a pretty good analog for a floridian being confused for a person.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Your snorkeling is sub par, it's too humid, and your restaurants are terrible.

Also there aren't any beaches in the keys. It's just 10' of boulders between the water and the jungles filled with six toed cats.

If you'd ever been to Oroville you'd know they were crack/meth rocks, duh. The part of California that the dam's located at is 'utter redneck trash, Ca', not 'hipster tech douchebag, Ca'.

sadly i've considered this from a science fiction perspective but thanks to weird topography it'll take a lot more than the ice caps melting to flood the central valley

in that scenario SF, LA and SD would all be washed away and Sacramento will finally regain its rightful place as the dominant megacity of california. we will cut off the water caravans to southern california and let the thirsty peasants working the Chinese-owned feudal almond plantations die unless they pay our extravagant tribute :twisted:

This is the classic Oroville story:




A pregnant woman who became lost and gave birth in a Northern California national forest says she took methamphetamine to get an energy boost after delivering her daughter.

Amber Pangborn told the Chico Enterprise-Record that her baby is healthy but Butte County Child Protective Services placed the baby in foster care. The 35-year-old Oroville woman is trying to regain custody.

Pangborn said staff at the hospital where she was treated notified social workers because of the nature of the birth. Child Protective Services officials declined to discuss the case.

In June, Pangborn delivered her baby alone in the back seat of her broken-down car in Plumas National Forest.

Pangborn's ordeal began when she went into labor and got lost in the forest while taking unfamiliar back roads to her parents' house. Her gas and cellphone service ran out.

Pangborn gave birth to her daughter, Marissa, and they were stranded for the next three days.

She survived only off three apples, a can of soda, modest amounts of water, and methamphetamine.

Pangborn told that Chico Enterprise-Record that she got methamphetamine from a man whom she had given a ride before she got lost. She said she used it to keep up her energy.

Three days into her ordeal, she decided to start a signal fire, hoping to attract some attention -- but that didn't go as planned.

"I think Mommy just started a forest fire," Pangborn recalled telling her daughter shortly after she ignited the fire.

Within hours, the quarter-acre fire was tracked by the U.S. Forest Service, and Pangborn and her daughter were found safe with help from a helicopter.

"I was crying, I was just so happy. I thought we were going to die," Pangborn said. "I was so glad someone had finally seen us and we were going to be OK."

They were admitted to Oroville Hospital, and the baby was taken to UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento.

After losing custody of Marissa, Pangborn said the experience has been devastating and depressing. She said her baby is healthy and thriving and she doesn't pose a danger to her daughter.

"There's no risk to my daughter or anything," Pangborn said.

She said she voluntarily gave up parental rights to three older daughters after her husband killed himself.
