Welp, the California drought is probably over.

Aaaand it's raining again. And it's forecast also for next week. Ugh.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Just yesterday we were told nothing was seriously wrong and the Oroville Dam was fine... now the spillway that suffered erosion will likely catastrophically fail and cause an uncontrolled release from Lake Oroville. 

130,000 people have been ordered to evacuate from downstream communities as the erosion occurred so quickly that imminent failure is likely.  This is a serious situation.

Another atmospheric river is set to pummel California.  The stringest storm of the winter so far for SoCal will drop 3-6" of rain over the LA basin and 6-12" in the lower mountains.

Up to 11" of precip is expected near the Oroville dam with snow measured in meters for the mountains on top of their already record breaking snowpack...nearly 30 feet in some places.

This could be a terrible disaster.
