Northern California dam forced to use emergency spillway for first time as water tops capacity

The emergency spillway at California's swollen Oroville Dam was activated Saturday, as water levels from heavy rains this week caused the reservoir to rise above its capacity during an unusually plentiful rain season. Saturday marked the first time the emergency spillway has been used in the dam's 48-year history.
Normally the dam would use its concrete-lined spillway to discharge water, but that primary channel is severely damaged.
However, utilizing the emergency spillway—essentially an unlined hillside—is likely to send mud and other debris into the water of rivers and channels downstream.
The California Department of Water Resources said in a release that the "the volume of water is expected to pose no flood threat downstream, and should remain well within the capacity of Feather River and other channels to handle." Even so, the state agency cautioned that "the rate of flow into the ungated emergency spillway may change quickly."

The use of the emergency spillway follows a series of so-called atmospheric river storms that have dropped huge amounts of rain into Northern California—a region tracking to have its wettest year ever recorded. "This is tracking to be perhaps the wettest season in Northern California ever," DWR spokesman Doug Carlson said Friday. According to Carlson, the Northern California region as of Friday was at 228 percent of normal for this time year.
This year's wet season, which began on October 1, is on track to be wetter than the 1982-83 season, which was the wettest.

Why so much Rain? Well this could be the answer, more cosmic dust is hitting earth.


It’s Raining Cosmic Dust

For a snowflake to form, it must form around something in the atmosphere such as a particle of dust. Much of the rain that hits the ground starts out as a snowflake up in a cloud over 8,000 feet high. The snowflake often forms around a micrometeorite—a particle that enters the earths atmosphere from space! Tons of micrometeorites enter earth’s atmosphere everyday and fall in rain. Rain comes from cosmic dust!

Couple of observations in no particular order...

1) Western Turkey pattern is looking more each day like a foreshock sequence culminating in a quake of around 6.5-6.8 magnitude. If it goes further west towards Aegean Sea, it can go near 7.5. Especially the 2-3 magnitude quakes are suggesting that the biggest one is still coming.


Caribbean Sea correlated heavily with Turkey and Greece 6+, it's already the third location to do so.

Greece, Turkey and California are all in very real danger of 6.5+ activity. We might even get the first 7+ in EUROPE since 1999.

Cosmic Dust: Building Blocks of Planets Falling from the Sky

Throughout its history, Earth has accreted microscopic dust falling from
space. Decelerating from cosmic speeds at the top of the atmosphere,
the smallest particles can take weeks to reach the ground, failing a rate
of 1 m−2 day−1. Although usually hidden among terrestrial materials, extraterrestrial
particles can be collected from select environments and positively
identifi ed by their unique properties. Unmelted cosmic dust is often composed
of large numbers of smaller silicate, sulfi de, and organic components—the
preserved materials from the early Solar System. Cosmic dust particles are
samples of comets and asteroids and they are important samples of the initial
materials that were to build the solid planets.

Earthquakes in Turkey

*(Good Read: Check out this article about two massive earthquakes striking Turkey in less than three months in 1999.)*

North-western Turkey, the county's most densely populated region and industrial heartland, has been struck by two massive earthquakes in less than three months. The first, on 17 August 1999 at 03h02 local, measured 7.4 on the Richter scale and lasted 45 seconds. Izmit, an industrial city of one million in western Turkey, was nearest the epicenter. The official death toll stands at over 18,000, with some 44,000 people injured, nearly 300,000 homes either damaged or collapsed and more than 40,000 business premises similarly affected. On the day of the catastrophe, the Turkish government declared a state of emergency and requested international assistance. The International Federation immediately launched a preliminary appeal, followed by a full appeal for CHF 65 million on 8 September 1999, which remains active.

The disaster was followed by more than 1,300 aftershocks, culminating in the second quake - which shook Düzce and Kaynasli in the north-western province of Bolu, some 100 kilometers (63 miles) to the east of Izmit for 30 seconds - at 18h57 on 12 November 1999 and rated 7.2 on the Richter scale. The jolt was felt both in Istanbul (some 260 km to the west) and Ankara, the nation's capital, 300 km to the east. This situation report concentrates primarily on Red Cross Red Crescent activities in response to this further tragedy in Turkey. Another big earthquake hit the city of Bingöl, Eastern part of Turkey, on 1st of May 2003, killing 176 people (mostly elementary school kids sleeping in their dormitory). The quake came at 03:27 local time lasting for about 17 seconds with a Richter scale of 6.4.

Recently on 23rd of October 2011, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit the province of Van and its district Ercis in Eastern Anatolia at 13:41 local time, killing 644 people.

As conditions continue to deteriorate in California,
there is something strange going on that seems very odd for a situation of such magnitude.



Interesting Comments From Video:
*The possibility of bedrock fracture is very possible with the rumbling that has been going on. I mean look at all the trees and soil on top of the bedrock where the emergency spillway is and then look at the erosion under the main spillway. It is compromised. A huge area is compromised from above and beneath. The electrical lines that power the dam are in danger of erosion underneath too creating the possibility that power could be cut at a crucial moment. I mean I could be over reacting but the dam is 70 years old. Another storm is going to come in soon. The sheer weight of the water is unimaginable. Probably will be fine but I just can't be sure on how they really plan to stabilize this situation. One must ask what caused the spillway fracture in the first place? Why couldn't there be more? And why isn't there the possibility that they are growing?

*I live in the foothills outside Sacramento and we are having roads caving in, trees falling across the roads, downed power lines and some bridge's getting hammered by all the water flowing into the rivers up here. it's unbelievable.

*And, yet the water resources board refuses to lift the emergency statewide drought measures because, "conditions can change quickly." In other words, according to them, all the water in lakes now filled to capacity could suddenly evaporate, so we'd better keep the drought restrictions on farmers, etc.
