"Jim I live a few miles above Oroville dam and we've been having a heavy storm here for a couple of hours. Lightening up right now, but it was furious for quite awhile, and very concerning about flows this might create behind the dam."

My response: I think I was wrong about Haarp tech stopping the storms (oh, and a note on that). Haarp is a name like Kleenex. It no longer applies to the facility in Alaska. But any time you use the word, even in that context, the trolls will bash you into oblivion and will never back down, claiming Alaska is shut down and you are stupid. Anyway, that is annoying. It now looks like weather mod tech is not going to be used to save Oroville. Too many strong storms are moving through. I got sight of that storm you are talking about on weather radar earlier, and then the power supply cut out ...

I have really paid attention to the dam situation and have concluded the primary spillway will probably fail all the way up to the gates and whether or not this ends in disaster will depend entirely upon whether or not the gates themselves give out. They are anchored in bedrock so maybe they will hold.

"Jim, Paul Preston just gave an 8 minute update on the Oroville dam with Dave Hodges on the common sense show (youtube). He lives locally and his sources at the dam are saying right now with no rain there is still a 30% chance of failure, let alone the rain that is to come over the next week. He will be packing up and leaving the area within the next couple of days. He will lose his house and everything also.......the situation is very dire."

My response: The problem is, that even if there is no rain and the emergency spillway is not used, the primary spillway has a major problem that is definitely working its way up to the flood gates. They can't stop this, they just have to accept what happens, and dam failure is a very real possibility, with ZERO rain. This is literally like riding an airplane that is losing a wing, and looking out the window at it, hoping you will land safely.
