Oroville Dam. Mandatory Evacuations.

[Blarg]

Maybe,  for one season. The snowpack is a concern if we get an early hot spring. Instead a slow run off you will see uncontrollable flooding. It happens in Montana every now and then where a productive winter for snowfall creates too much run off with an early spring. Dams not only get overloaded but the silt level muddies them up along with rivers and tributaries killing off the fish and flooding the valley. It can take months for it to clear out.

Looks like another dam had to use it's emergency spillway.  Lake Berryessa.  First time in 10 years.  Not really significant, except their spillway is called the glory hole.  And it's amazing.

also cute how you spliced in a shot of victor's mom at 45s mark.

Wow, that's a lot of damage. Going to take some time to repair properly. Water is so powerful when moving like that.

a little bondo should do the trick.
