Re: Oroville Dam Evacuation Reply #1 – February 13, 2017, 11:42:39 am Well, it seems no one here is in harm's way. I hope the other folks effected are kept safe and secure from this impending disaster. It's just terrible for anyone to have to go through this. My heart goes out to those in the effected area.

Re: Oroville Dam Evacuation Reply #3 – March 06, 2017, 12:32:11 am Makes me wonder how stable the ground was below the concrete. Erosion perhaps weakening the spillway?That's a very serious situation.Wow! My sentiments, exactly.Kent

All I can say is wow!Even more impressive when I finally noticed the seven people, standing on the concrete deck.That's a big hole and a lot of material to replace. Glad no one has assign the repair project to me. Besides worrying about future storms, the lake has the spring melt to contend with.An early hot spell or a warm storm system could cause a rapid melt off.It sure has been an interesting year so far.Larry 1 Likes
