Emergency Evacuations: Oroville Dam may fail

The emergency overflow is apparently
eroding the dam as the water spills out!
   February 12, 2017:  After a week of assurances that the dam at Oroville was structurally safe, tonight an emergency order has been issued for evacuations to residents in all towns below the dam.

   The tallest dam in the US at 800', they now say that the dam is showing signs of instability and could actually fail at any time.  People are quickly gathering up their belongings and trying to get out
of the area.

Was all the rain caused by "Global Warming"? Maybe Al Gore and associates should pay attention to Mother Nature in California? It's going to be interesting to see what the repair solution is. Be sure to keep your waders close by and water wings if you need them.
