The damage to the Oroville Dam Spillway is DANGEROUS. 185,000 cubic feet/s of Feather River water is coming into Lake Oroville and only 41,000 CFS is going out. The emergency 2nd Spillway may have to be used before morning, to avoid dam overflow. We need that water, and Oroville, including the dam.

The 10th - the dam is 96.7% full, 5’ from the top. The broken spillway does not carry water along it all the way, the water is diverted outward about ½ way down. DS 2/10/17 Late 2/10/17 The dam is now 98.8% full. With so much rainwater entering, the damaged spillway can only remove much less than that. The rains have ceased today, but forecasts indicate more. How full can it get? ABC News 6:35 pm PST. 46 of 48 of Sacramento’s Weir’s are open. Overflow water is pouring through now. Dry, but more rain is expected. D.

While it took the radio 38 years, and the television a short 13 years, it took the World Wide Web only 4 years, to reach 50 million users.
The new 2017-2022 administration will promote their Businessman President, forget government support of the Constitution, and institute the business process in government. Anarchy will prevail unless they understand that the people are supported by the government laws, and they must support that. Also, by being the richest President, unlike Obama, he will forget the poor, social programs, and rules supporting that. He will also pay attention to the rich and institute 'rules for the rich' in government law. He is forgetting he is the son of an immigrant, but not that he made his fortune here, and even made it to the highest office in the land. One more thing. He has his 'America First' policy. He is cutting America off from the world in The Mexican Wall, making businesses come back to America, build in America, and put heavy import taxes on foreign businesses already here.
