July 26th, 2017: Spillway
Back in February the 770’ Oroville Reservoir dam, tallest in the nation, reached the limit of capacity and overflowed in the
manner which was designed into it. The only problem was it tore the hell out of the spillway, and towns like Oroville and Thermalito were spared. Although if there were a just god, towns with names like that would have been wiped from the Earth. Quote:

And since it’s so important to the nation send your nickels and dimes to the CADWR. link

Dams may be built not to fail, but it is inevitable that they will.
This one will be giant. I am a little out of range, but will be a short drive to watch. |

I think this line's mostly filler.

Reminds me of the San Francisco Bay Model. I wonder if they'll turn this one into a tourist trap when they're done with it.

I doubt it, this is a lab in Utah that will pocket a lot of money, add it to their resume, and move on.
