California's Lake Oroville Main Spillway Severly Damaged/Eroded. Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed

Yes, thank you for nonstop updates!
I followed this thread nonstop back in 2017-18.
I just found it again and appreciate your hard work.
my prayers go out to folks in the path!
Stay safe all!

When it inundates them (us).

Should I attend this February 24th meeting?

How long before they kick me out?

Go, please. Ask them about the camera on the spillway. Ask about what's been grouted. Ask about the MIT guys who hacked into the DWR website and uncovered data of harmonic tremors on the spillway. Ask who made Weiryone on Twitter stop. You will be great at this. Let them kick you out, it only exposes their lies.

I'll plan on it, although I am not much of a public speaker.

Feb 24th, we might be in a world of hurt by then.

That makes it interesting.

Dam dam still looks ok Dolls…

omg the tardation of the orotard…

well, there you have it. 322 Mason has checked in…

what in tardation?

February coming into focus

https://twitter.com/_/status/1618456885673472000

If the inflow rate is reflective of residual rainfall and snow melt now as a gauge, I think the warming trend will be active with plenty of snow runoff.

Mid-February is going to be wild, no matter where anyone is….the sun is going to be doing some strange things….

oh and btw, it’s back below 800

as promised, DWR will
not ever allow the dam to get over 800

problem solved!

lol, about how many weeks is “mid february” from now??

That's a shame because some real dirt lives in the inundation zone.

Over 800, Einstein.

Crunch-

You can wear a T shirt and write in big thick letters with a Sharpie, on the back:

Join the Oroville Dam
thread, at Godlike
Productions.com

Might be nice for people looking for some ongoing info and discussion.

Just an idea:)(but yeah, you don't want to get kicked out...)

Heck, wouldn't need a sharpie.

Wife has a vinyl cutter and a T-shirt press.

We could go into production LOL.

Wow, sounds good if it comes to that. We'll all watch and see what Feb brings. Could be the end of central valley, could be a big dry nothing.

CA dams sound like a real mess. Good article.

Even if all the CA dams hold, an arkstorm year (or even less of a flood than 1862) could devastate the state. Read this one if you are an AC that thinks O dam is just fine. Lots more doom in a flood year than just dams.

Both by Jeff Masters.

Some more uncle intel rolling in. The sun will start acting up in about 72 hours. Dutch listen's to uncle because they are both old GLP. Dutch cautions on YT chat to watch out for strengthening of the storm in the Pacific. He is correct. Any storm that is developing will strengthen due to the sun’s affects. What that means for the rain totals will have to wait to be seen.

This is about a week out. In a month, according to uncle, because the earth’s core has stopped, earthquakes are on the rise.

Some CA Dam information

Dams play a crucial role in California’s water management.
The state’s dry summers and frequent droughts require abundant storage to meet water demands. On average, more than 60% of the water used by cities and farms comes from rivers, and dams play a key role in regulating this supply. California’s nearly 1,500 reservoirs are part of the state’s water grid, which includes groundwater basins and thousands of miles of conveyance facilities to move stored water to where it is needed. Most dams and their reservoirs are owned and operated by local agencies and private companies. But state and federal agencies manage 240 large reservoirs that account for 60% of the state’s storage capacity.

Dams are operated to meet multiple objectives …
The state’s dams provide multiple benefits in addition to storing water for cities and farms. Dams generate 15% of California’s electricity supply on average. Some are operated to capture runoff from winter storms. This is essential for reducing flood risk on the state’s large floodplains, particularly for cities in the Central Valley and Southern California. Dams support a large reservoir-based recreation industry. And in California’s highly managed water system, flow releases from dams are essential to meet the habitat needs of fish and wildlife.

but these objectives are often in conflict.
Many large multi-purpose dams are operated with conflicting goals. For example, to manage floods, operators must release enough water to create space in reservoirs for winter floodwaters, which increases the chance that reservoirs will not be full in spring. Over the summer, when recreation demands are highest, reservoirs are drawn down rapidly to meet water and hydropower demands. Finally, many dams are required to conserve and slowly release cold water—which collects at the bottom of reservoirs—to support downstream salmon and steelhead runs. Managing these tradeoffs is becoming increasingly challenging as California’s climate warms and precipitation becomes more variable.

Many dams need infrastructure and operational upgrades.
Two-thirds of California’s dams are at least 50 years old. Most dams were designed—and are currently operated—based on outdated assumptions about hydrology and earthquakes. More than 90 need major upgrades to better handle large floods or withstand earthquakes. Promising efforts are underway in some watersheds—including the Russian, American, Santa Ana, and Yuba Rivers—to update operations using advanced weather forecasting technology. Operations also need updating to account for changing patterns of precipitation and snowmelt, and to maximize storage in underground aquifers.

Very interesting thread!!!

Who is the Q asking the questions? Is that Dutch asking somebody? Do have a link to it all?( I know people who are very interested in this sort of thing but can't get onto GLP because of auto bans). Thanks.

Thank you for the interest but as you know, the whole point of uncle intel is to keep the source/identity quiet. So you can take the information or leave it. It’s a right of passage to be able to work around the bans on GLP. (I really do understand that one).

Being from old times, when GLP was a different place, it was a different crowd back then.

I believe you, but is that you asking questions? Or did you pull it from another site? Thanks. I'm guessing it is you.

The spillway top cam is not now simply being redirected, it is now 'unavailable'.

I think DWR and CA Parks are actually monitoring this thread.

Don't make me have to drive up there to get a view.

Go gerem Crunch!

Sun will have a weakened magnetic field and pole reversal in the next few months, misty eyed. That will also be peak sunspot time, although this cycle seems to be milder (fewer sunspots) than previous ones. The absolute number of sunspots or peak number is important, but it only takes one of those (out of hundreds) to blast the earth at the right angle and the right spot for a major solar storm. This at a time when the earth's magnetic field (shield) is relatively weaker, and weaker than during the Carrington Event of 1859. The Carrington Event happened at sunspot peak (cycle 10) - about average in number of sunspots but twice as many as the current weak one (cycle 25). But it only takes on healthy CME, not matter how many sun spots are flying around.

Either we'll be lucky in Feb (or March or April), or we won't.

I've seen this repeated a lot lately, misty eyed (so not picking on you or uncle) but it's simply not true. The earth's core rotates, on average, about the same speed as the earth. It can rotate slightly faster or slower, and has done so many times. The recent change is that it went from rotating exactly the same speed to rotating slightly slower.

If you drilled a hole at the equator 3000 miles down to the core and looked at its surface, it would have appeared to be moving 'forward' or faster relative to the west-to-east motion of the crust you're standing on. At least until 2009, when it appeared to have stopped RELATIVE TO THE CRUST. It didn't stop rotating - it just rotated at exactly the same speed as the crust. At least according to the Chinese guy's study.

The core rotation has slowed a bit lately, so now it would appear to be moving 'backward' or slower relative to the crust's west-to-east rotation. The core did NOT reverse its direction to spin east-to-west - that's impossible.

This leading/lagging reversal may be happening repeatedly in 60-70 year cycles according to some geo-whatever dudes. By their measurements, the core 'stopped' in the 1970's and started rotating faster. 2009 was the end of that half of the cycle, when it again 'stopped' and now has started rotating slightly slower relative to the crust, but still in the same direction.

There are many confounding studies so nothing is certain. And the core is not a homogenous, solid ball of nickel-iron. It's more like runny nickel-iron honey or Jello and may have several shells slipping around inside each other. Nobody can say for sure - they're making educated guesses based on seismic waves.

How much faster or slower? Estimates range from one degree per million years to a degree or two per year. Depends who you ask and how slippery or sticky they think the ball could be and if they think the rotation oscillates over decades or not. None of those guys (including the recent Chinese study being misreported in the MSM) suggest the core's spin has actually reversed to be completely opposite the rotation of the mantle.

This could just be subterranean aliens f'king with us, too. Never rule that out - I don't trust those spindly little bastards. What are they DOING down there??

Thank you for sharing but as I say “take it or leave it”. It’s not about trying to dissuade me with your attempts at being an authority on the information. Uncle works with all the government alphabet agencies on what press releases the public sees on astrophysics phenomena, including NASA. So I doubt you have the same credentials. The information is available.

A flippant disregard of the solid intel I brought forth is common, boring and actually dangerous at these times. If your not on GLP for the doom, then why are you here? 65 posts in 6 years?? And you drop into a thread and decide to be an advocate of earth’s inner core, know about it’s properties and be like home boy?? You are revealing way more then you are obviously aware of.

As I say, and I’ll say it again. February is going to be wild. Prepare accordingly. Earthquakes are on the table.

No further discussion is necessary.

Whoa Misty. Paveway has been a top quality poster at twitter for years including all kinds of seismic data. Scott and Lisa Cahill loved him regarding the O dam info. We are humbly honored that he would even come here, considering the amount of sheer trash and vulgarity at GLP overall.

Not all of us accept intel from government sources including NASA. Much of what government agencies say is sociopathic lies. Give Paveway a break. Your sources could go back to lies. Let people post what they've read and heard, and we will see.

Keep prepping, to the max. So many doom scenarios to stop the food supply. And pray for God's mercy.

Go away you gibberish spouting retard. It was nice without your retard updates every tenth of a foot.
