One of my friends lives 5 miles southwest of the spillway. She's not in town right now which is good.

The outflow is 3x the inflow right so, so I'm guessing if they lowered the outflow to prevent erosion it would seriously gently caress something up even worse

Apparently they're closing lots of roads north for some reason. Wtf. You need to drive like 2 miles north to get out of the flood zone.

The emergency spillway is allegedly level with the water at 900 feet, so spillover has stopped.

It still has a shitload of pressure pushing on it from the inside, so there's probably still a chance, but it's not being eroded from the top anymore. If it falls a bit more they can start to repair it. They have about a week until a new storm comes in and wrecks poo poo.

Every 200 or so winters california gets something called a "megaflood" which through rainfall alone are perfectly capable of flooding nearly all the entire central valley including Sacramento. This isn't one of those.

imo the best plan right now is to fix the main spillway while water ingress is low with an rear end-ton of concrete. Turn that poo poo up to 11 to protect the top 30 feet of the emergency letoff from crumbling and smashing the town.

What's the main drawback of using the primary spillway? How much erosion would it it take it compromise the integrity of the dam proper? It definitely seems like the best idea given any use of the emergency spillway could result in 30 feet of lake oroville to come pouring out with a vengeance

If the damaged main spillway is no danger of undermining the dam, we'll just use that then. We haven't had to use the emergency spillway in a hundred years so careful management of water levels *should* give us time to fix everything we need. As long as it doesn't rain too much.

Almonds use jillions of water so let's just plant some ammonds on the banks of the river upstream. Looks like this problem is solved you boys can go home

Katosabi posted:So I went to the fairgrounds in Chico (the city north of Oroville where everyone was told to go) this morning, it was surprisingly calm and actually felt like less traffic than normal around that area. The fairgrounds were almost full and had some people camping, and all the hotels I saw were packed. Caltrans had a single sign pickup on the highway saying where the road was closed. We also heard helicopters every hour or so last night headed south. This is exactly what will happen when the ruskies invade

This was the lake in 2015 A lot of people said that after el nino were supposed to get a drier winter afterwards as well. I'm not sure why that didn't happen though.

I want to know where exactly the hole in the emergency spillway is. Like, is it on top, or on the side, because it probably determines what a safe water level is in the reservoir. Also I'm getting pretty tired of saying the word 'spillway'

Oh on the leeward side of the spillway? That's not so bad then. The top 30 feet that's compromised won't fail unless the reservoir gets above 902 feet. So there will be enough warning for everyone to get out.
