The other day, I saw from stuff from Bea that I thought about sharing here, but it seemed so inflammatory that I elected to discard it as an unreliable source. I agree with you completely.

Conditions of the levees in Yuba City. The work that is beginning to repair seepage and boils has caused a local rumor mill to go into overdrive about potential threats of levee failure in Yuba City. Water level has been steady at 66 feet, but I continue to keep my eye on this aspect. As...

I have only seen cfs figures for releases... This again highlights the complications of communicating about science.

This is what I was looking for yesterday. This storm is also supposed to be colder from what I understand, meaning more water stays in place as snow.

And the levees in Yuba City are in good shape with water levels holding steady. http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/queryF?YUB Date / Time RIV STG BAT VOL (PST) FEET VOLTS 02/14/2017 21:00 66.58 13.0 02/14/2017 22:00 66.47 13.0 02/14/2017 23:00 66.59 13.0 02/15/2017 00:00...

They've made a ton of progress in 36 hrs based on the new photos coming out. I was interested that they were using concrete and rock to reinforce the rest of the emergency/auxiliary spillway in a manner similar to the concrete coping at the bottom of the other 3/4 of it.

Because of the temperature of the storm and snow level? I'd love to see their model. But in general, from what they are saying... seems like they are gaining confidence in their control of the situation.

He thinks that even with rain coming in they'll still be able to reduce the lake to 850 ft by Saturday. I don't understand the math there. Seems like he's making an assumption of continued inflow of 19,000?

Here's another feed for those who might be getting dropped as well. https://www.facebook.com/AssemblymanJamesGallagher/videos/1639887472972803/?pnref=story

That feed keeps dropping me. Looking for a more reliable feed.

Some Yuba City residents returned home, apparently. This was my family member, so I deleted the post because when I tried to confirm, I could not... News conference now. I'll tune in!

I found some useful information about the Feather River in Yuba City. Currently at Flood Stage II and slowly rising. Looks like they are a little slow at getting the data into the system, but this will be important information for the folks downstream, as they have levee issues and dam issues to...

Image of the hole.

Good point about natural topography. I also wondered if it could be from natural rainfall as it runs off the concrete of the spillway? (so not from spill over, but just run off). I agree that this seems like knowable information, but not sure we have access to the info.

Is there a system like that in place? I could see that if there was. It would also make sense with the topography, but it wouldn't necessarily make sense in terms of protecting the main spillway, as it angles towards it. I found it interesting that in the Google earth image from before this...

I'm speaking of the concrete coping that abutts the bottom of the concrete rollover of the auxiliary spillway that can be seen pictured here. There is a small portion to the right closest to the main spillway with what looks like erosive damage even prior to this event (according to this google...

Fair point. I should have said they are speaking to each other and seem to be coordinated. Frustrating for data types, but see my comment about "delta" being used instead of net change during the press conference. They have a hard time communicating technical information to the lay public...

I found the press conference to be adequate in terms of information, but would like to see images and explanation of images. As for waffling on the auxiliary spillway, I'm not surprised. No one would know much about how it would operate. One out standing question that I have is why the...

Love that he used "delta of 60K" as if these lay reporters understand net change as delta!
