California complains of no water but there was never enough water there to sustain the agriculture and human population there and it continues to grow. So it's not climate change it's based on over population of areas never meant to sustain the number of people and use the amount of water that is available.


Hey, I have an idea. Let's not enforce immigration laws so that EVEN MORE people can come to California. Surely that's the ticket.

Posted a half hour ago on Butte County Sheriff's office facebook page:

This is an evacuation order. Immediate evacuation from the low levels of Oroville and areas downstream is ordered. A hazardous situation is developing with the Oroville Dam auxiliary spillway. Operation of the auxiliary spillway has lead to severe erosion that could lead to a failure of the structure. Failure of the auxiliary spillway structure will result in an uncontrolled release of flood waters from Lake Oroville. In response to this developing situation, DWR is increasing water releases to 100,000 cubic feet per second. Immediate evacuation from the low levels of Oroville and areas downstream is ordered. This in NOT A Drill. This in NOT A Drill. This in NOT A Drill.
