International Space Station
The space station is orbiting halfway between Cambodia and Australia, now! 7:50 am PST, 5/8/17. The ISS weighs 350 tons and orbits at about 100 miles above the Earth. It is traveling at 17,350 miles an hour. Pretty fast for 350 tons. And a remarkable accomplishment for NASA. David Schaedler

Check these photos of the Oroville Dam and both spillways. They are revealing to the nature of the powerful force unleashed by dam waters.
The recent February rains caused so much flooding of the Feather River that the incredible amounts of water reached the top of the highest dam in America, at 901’. Officials increased the flow into the main Spillway from about 50,000 CFS to 100,000 CFS Sunday, to release full Lake Oroville waters, but that wasn’t enough.
Flooding occurred on Sunday in the Emergency Spillway, which was damaged, and DWR issued an evacuation notice to 188,000 residents of the Oroville Dam downstream area. Many were given the 1 hour notice.
Roads were packed, to the Evacuation Centers that had been set up. Residents exhibited extreme patience as numbers felt the crunch in leaving so quickly.

Oroville Dam update. Due to huge rains in February 2017, the spillway was opened incredibly, and damaged from that. Watch the repair.

It seems to be a few days before Spring and we in the West have enjoyed a week of fine 70° weather. It appears that in the East, snow and high wind is the going theme, as it it white out there. Snow up to 18" has appeared in New York as an example. The map for Northeast America has shown this weekend may be completely socked in. Previous warnings, "Stay off the streets" have been given and apparently been effective. We are all due for that Spring, mentioned.
