Cali Flood

 I don't get it , they got greedy , wanting to fill as much water as they could in that lake , then when it spilled over , decided to open the flood gates when the Dam started to over flow into an area that was not adequately designed to do so & when they stared to see the damage because of the over flow , opened the overflow gates that destroyed the spillway that was not kept up .

 Who inspected this Dam & who's idea was it to not keep it at a safe level ?

That dam was written up 12 years ago for needing improvements and hardening. Yeah, it was environmental weenies who did most of the complaining, but the state and the feds ignored it. Higher priority must be given to spending tax payer money on illegals, sex change operations and hounding honest gun owners.

 Yes & they waited till something went bad & say its an emergency  & want the tax payers in the rest of the Country to pay for their failures & mismanagement . Yes , no one will pay for the mismanagement , that one of the big issues with government employees ( at least at the higher levels ) they ignore problems they are responsible for , waste $$ designated for the problems they ignore & get away with it .

  The Governor , good old commie Jerry , is probably inflating the amount of $$ needed to fix it & will use more tax payer $$ for illegals . Fuk them fix you own problems MF'ers !

They were getting hammered about it yesterday. "What about the 2005 study?"..."the what?, never heard of it, next question..."

its a hydro dam. They want all the water they can get in there. What they haven't said is wether or not they were running the generators at full capacity. They have other places to lose water. Sure would have been nice to work on it the last few years of our insanely low levels of water.

That's crazy talk!  Weirdo!  Why don't you go someplace where they support crazy, like Arizona?!

" Oroville is America’s tallest dam and experts predicted that if it failed, water could reach Oroville within an hour, and within eight to 12 hours it would be in Yuba City. They say the flood could be 10 feet deep at that point."

Well, I guess you'd better learn to swim.

We never learn. Hurricane Katrina did the same thing here in 2005. Good people (not Chicken Little greentards) had been warning for years that the levees were in poor condition and needed maintenance. Didn't matter. Politicos won't put money into the infrastructure that they're actually responsible for unless they are forced to. Better to spend taxpayer money on useless projects and buy a few votes.

One thing nobody seems to be mentioning, when it breaks the people down stream aren't going to be flooded by water.

They are going to be flooded with debris-filled concretia/mud that thickens the further it goes, ala Johnstown, PA flood in 1889.
