Yesterday:
"Butte Sheriff's Department officials said Friday afternoon that the massive crater in the main spillway of Oroville Dam likely won't force the use of an emergency spillway to divert water from the swelling reservoir."
Today:
"Water began pouring over the emergency spillway at Oroville Dam early Saturday for the first time in its 48-year history."
Tomorrow?
"If it keeps on raining...you know the rest."
Jimmy Page explains how they got that cavernous drum sound. It wasn't special effects.

It all goes back to Clarksdale, MS.

Surf's up!
Indeed.
Did I mention I found a pencil from my ancestral woodworking shop, which relocated to the high water mark in Greenwood after the '27 flood? I did - the phone number is 242. That's it.
Pineapple express might be coming. Quick - build something useful, corrupt democrats of CA!
There were many fewer phones back then. I reckon that license plates used to have far fewer digits.
True dat. And letters, too.
I'm famous!
Last night we watched three episodes of Black Books. Took some getting used to but I got some laughs out of it and that's pretty much all I ask from a comedy. The two main guys looked oddly familiar but I couldn't place them. I'm guessing that book shops like that are pretty much a thing of the past.
OT: this is nuts
Thanks, April. I made a new post from your link.
We get flooding fairly often in SE Texas. One thing you learn is to check NOAA's Hydrology website to look for areas of flooding. We have flood gauges everywhere. Apparently, California does not. Here's the closest downstream gauge to Lake Oroville Dam. At 6pm Sunday, it says no action is required with 3' to go before action required. This link to local tv covering the flooding suggests that evacuation is currently ongoing in the areas downstream of the dam.

Unfortunately, the corrupt democrats of CA are also useless. They can't even properly maintain the infrastructure built by their worthy predecessors. Don't even mention EXPANDING that infrastructure! (Unless it's the low speed gravy train.)
Turns out, it was special effects.
