Hate to doom and run but I have to go lay down for a bit. Just had stomach surgery a few days ago and need to rest.

Hopefully, when I get back, there will be more information.

Re: Breaking: Oroville Dam Spillway (Live Feed)
Something looks very suspicious. A few days ago I saw a photo of the damage of the spillway and the damage went all the way across the spillway where the big hole is. In that video the damage did not go all the way across. That looks like it was 4 or 5 days ago when the damage was 2/3rd the way across.

Something very fishy about that video stream.

Re: Breaking: Oroville Dam Spillway (Live Feed)
The UK rivers have regularly flooded. For 100's of years the Thames used to have water bailiffs who lived by and controlled short sections of the river, opening and closing sluice gates, informing fellow upstream and downstream bailiffs so they can do the same.

Local knowledge meant they knew which fields / areas flooded without the risk to property / life / livelihood. The flood-river nourished the flood plains while clearing out debris and biomass accumulated on the river bed and banks. River level and water flow was carefully controlled preventing unnecessary hardship or damage.

This knowledge started to get lost as local government authorities took over monitoring the river, building houses on flood plains changing and diverting river flow by the use of hard banks.

Now we have great gnashing of teeth when inevitable freak weather events cause flooding due to foolish tampering of nature, the lack of dredging of biomass build-up, removal of trees that hold up river banks.

Pressure to develop on low flat land in and around towns built near rivers have caused us much soul searching why people have their houses overwhelmed every few decades. Problems get moved up and down stream as millions are spent fixing poorly thought through developments.

None of this is new or high science.

Isa 30:9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
Isa 30:10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
Isa 30:11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
Isa 30:12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
Isa 30:13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
Isa 30:14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
Jer 5:31 The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?

When I created this thread, the live feeds were the only source (as of that time) I could find. Over on the Trump TV source there are now updates and there has been a twitter update here and there.

For such a huge story, personally, I would think it would be all over the news.

That's all I meant.

The spillway is not that bigger deal, they are just using it as an excuse to evacuate people as they have no clue if or when the dam or emergency overflow structure might or might not rupture

The spillway is a canard in a bid to side step the real fear that they hope might not happen. The last thing they want to do is draw any more attention than necessary.

This is like when they search bags and do pat-downs at airports while never allowing the word bomb to be used. They want to control people without disastrous stampede or permanently scattering the herd by putting dangerous knowledge in people's heads.

That's the idea anyway.

Would anyone have bought a home downstream of the dam if they had been told that there was a 1 in 30 year chance of a freak weather event breaking the dam washing their town clean away in a matter of seconds.
