To put it into perspective, this is 2 days ago before it got |
|
really big. They turned off the flow so they could inspect but |
|
had to turn it on again or the lake would have overflowed to the |
|
emergency, uncontrollable overflow spillway. They said doing |
|
that would have flooded us and every town south of us to |
|
Sacramento. Those are full grown men in the hole! |

And the evacuation order has been issued, it seems the overflow |
|
is eroding the emergency overflow area: |
