re: Largest Dam in the Country at risk to fail EDIT- no immediate danger

I'd like to see pictures from those bridges in orroville for the last 4 hours.

This is probably just the beginning of issues in Cali as the wet weather should continue for a good while. There has been a lot of chatter about the permanent drought in Cali, esp. after last years El Nino failed to deliver big time rains that are typically associated with El Nino:



Once La Nina set in, things did not look good for drought recovery based on Cali getting about avg rainfall during a La Nina:



However, this La Nina has been kind of tricky given that some things have been more El Nino acting like the +PDO and +QBO. Cali has traditionally been pretty wet during +PDO/+QBO years but most of those years are also El Nino years. So this is a bit of an odd year and North Sierra Precipitation index is on pace for the wettest year ever!



Anyway, more rain on the way over the next two weeks with some areas possibly seeing over a foot of liquid equivalent:



Beyond that, the Pacific appears to beginning the process of shifting back towards El Nino and Cali should stay wet over the next few months.

And you have the snow melt starting mid march

Lake level - 901.02

They ( State of Cali) brought my neighbor and his family over here from the U.K. To work on the high speed rail---such a waste of money!!!
