Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed Do they not patrol the area and inspect it everyday during the rainy season? I guess not, that would take common sense, which is in short supply in California. I don't think it got like that overnight, did it? They focus on the levy breaks which happen pretty often. I've seen parks there with water over the lampposts, flooding into downtown 1 Peter 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Calm seas do not a sailor make, Nor easy horses, a horseman. Nor easy believing, a Christian Proudly deplorable since forever |

Just to give you all a picture of what is behind the dam, for now. |
