the whole lookers left "gulch" is in danger now(imo)... and if that goes, its possible to dam the river sending the flow back at the dam. not trying to scaremonger but... more sediment on the downstream pile makes a reversal of flow more likely IMO. this is a big event on a massive scale... it...

in the bottom left of your post 908 you see the muddy flow? thats it but its down by the dental teeth...!!!! not very interesting other than those dredges will have a lot more work soon.... this is a big event something could easily "overrun" them . this new flow could further the complete...

nothing draining above this point in this photo is odd too IMO. I might see one drain above right near the crest that might be flowing ... pic seems odd/interesting. note: another poster has brought up that if the flow was stopped the drains would cease to flow from top down... and that may be...

"It appears they have a common source"... thats what i thought when i saw none of the bottom drains working after the sidewall blowout.. I figured there were pipes in the walls coming from above.. sorta how it looks

oddly enough thats exactly where the drains start to drain.. nothing draining above that point....

just wanted to note on the drainage system flowing into the chute of the main spillway. after the hole formed and the sidewalls blew out... all the upper drains were still running but everything below the break was no longer draining.. not sure what that means.. or the relevance but throwing it...

i'd imagine rain erosion is last on every bodies list right now. totally irrelevant ... its the foot of the weir and immediately downstream thats the priority and not for rain... but for some odd # of 1000's of cuft going over the wall.

whats your source on these..... would love the link. thx. Moderator Add Answer: http://pixel-ca-dwr.photoshelter.co...C703Lnc/ZC-Oro-Spillway-I-0028-02-11-2017-jpg http://pixel-ca-dwr.photoshelter.co...00PCdyEjzDuNk/FL-Oroville-2601-02-14-2017-jpg

of course the first pic is titled feb14 2016 so who knows when that was taken ... i sorta doubt it went 100yards and just stopped... is all im saying . would love to see some live pics from today.

little frustrated trying to get new images.... from what i can tell here as of yesterday morning they seem to have lost nearly 1/3 of their remaining spillway... the break was/is? at the last bushes before the power line towers.. thats a huge distance from the original "pothole" easily 1/4 if...

I'll be honest... this is like ants with matchbox cars moving grains of sand around.. I hope they don't need to use the E spillway again cuz all that rock and concrete aint nothin if that gets overtopped again IMO.. I call this optics ... looks like they are doing something. in reality .. its...

the main spillway looks "stable" since yesterday via https://www.facebook.com/KCRA3/videos/vb.115763581513/10155031720176514/?type=3&theater @6:18 roughly

maybe just trapped methane... or better insects on the surface and/or glint ...indication of a sink forming... ? maybe not so much but good eye! could be..

#1 as i was going to sleep last night it dawned on me... they won't be putting out any new pics... cuz thats how things tend to work nowdays... secondly to Joe... i fish the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.. there's no way in hell to my mind that the feather river/oroville spillway put out...

i think more attention needs to be paid to the upward destruction of the main spillway . head cutting? I see no reason to believe that any portion of that spillway is in fact "on bedrock"... therefore i see no reason that the cutting doesn't go all the way up.. you'd only need a shallow layer of...

what happens when the powerlines go at the damn... looks like they will be gone soon do problems compound when those powerlines go?
