[QUOTE="dust in the wind, post: 155587, member: 215"] [b]Oroville Dam - California - she's over the espillway[/b] I've been following this on another forum. The power of water! As of a little big ago tonight, they are about 2 feet from topping the emergency spillway. Sounds like the lake has been rising about .25 foot per hour. overview of the dam [IMG]https://www.metabunk.org/attachments/oroville-dam-spillway2-jpg.24400/[/IMG] Pic of the damage found earlier this week. [IMG]https://i2.wp.com/ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/KG_oro_spillway_damage_10034.jpg?resize=418%2C278&ssl=1[/IMG] inspecting the hole [IMG]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/02/10/12/3CFB9D7D00000578-4209546-Water_trickles_down_as_workers_inspect_part_of_the_Lake_Oroville-a-4_1486731207722.jpg[/IMG] Apparently the spillway was in need of repair a few years ago and "fixed" - guess not good enough. [IMG]https://s28.postimg.org/4wozzel5p/old.jpg[/IMG] They opened up the spillway at higher flows to see what damage it would do. this was after that test. [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4SHUmCUEAA68ZY.jpg[/IMG] Video from earlier today. [MEDIA=youtube]N3x4r7jmD9Y[/MEDIA] [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] a couple more videos from today [MEDIA=youtube]6jR6MnTyQ34[/MEDIA] [FB]10155020503816514[/FB] [/QUOTE]
