Governor Jerry Brown Fiddles As Northern California Drowns<\/h1>\n

Jerry Brown\u00a0is the Benedict Arnold of his generation. First he leads an unconstitutional effort to lead California out of the US through Calexit. Then he acts with depraved indifference towards the 2 million people living between the Oroville Dam and Sacramento. Brown has 25 billion dollars to spend on programs benefiting illegal aliens, but he has no money to spend on a dam that had identified very serious issues as long 12 years ago. Brown has the money to open a Calexit\u00a0embassy in Russia, but has no money to evacuate 2 million people in harms way, even as a precaution. Why is Brown avoiding the media? Why did Brown\u2019s Department of Water Services rescind the original evacuation order, yet offer no evidence as to why this was done? Why hasn\u2019t Brown offered help and provide money to facilitate repairs on the levees in S. Sacramento that have already led to some evacuations?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Should there be a sense of urgency with \u201c5-7 inches of rain\u201d being forecasted in the next 48 hours for the Oroville area by the National Weather Service? Why isn\u2019t the silent Governor-in-hiding, Jerry Brown, who has seized control of the situation as well as the media press releases, paying at least some attention to the National Weather Service forecast and issuing his own risk assessment statements in conjunction with the weather report and then moving to protect the potential victims?<\/p>\n

With 2 million lives at risk, it is surprising that the National Weather Service (NWS) \u00a0would not make this the LEAD STORY, especially since they acknowledge that they are \u201cconcerned\u201d about the Oroville Dam, but presented this concern, as the readers just witnessed, as an after-thought.<\/p>\n

Regardless, of where the NWS placed this weather report in their broadcast, shouldn\u2019t this be enough evidence that the region should be evacuated as a precaution? (Author\u2019s note: Please note that the recorded forecast will undoubtedly update \u2013 however, I don\u2019t see the situation changing as originally reported by the NWS).<\/p>\n

Other Dams In No Cal<\/h2>\n

In light of the attention that the Oroville Dam situation has brought into the public view, several other dams in Northern California are at risk as well. The most prominent dam that could be joining the Oroville Dam on the endangered list is Mt. Shasta.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Sacramento Bee<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/em>the\u00a0<\/em>state\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>largest reservoir, Lake Shasta, is also approaching its capacity. Lake Shasta has reached a very \u00a0dangerous level of 95% of capacity and is presently releasing maximum water outflows just prior to the present series of storms which are ripping through the area. Subsequently, this situation is out of control and virtually, the entire Northern region of California is in grave danger.<\/p>\n

If the Oroville Dam fails, it is open season on Sacramento. And with the already failed levees and present level of flooding,\u00a0the results would be catastrophic.<\/p>\n

If the Shasta Dam fails, the I-5 Corridor will cease to exist.<\/p>\n

For future reference, please note that the Shasta Dam, among other rivers,\u00a0flows into the Sacramento River.<\/p>\n

If the Oroville Dam breaks it will wipe out Sacramento. The same is true for Redding if the Shasta Dam fails.<\/p>\n

If Shasta and Oroville Dams Both Fail, the Entire Central Valley of California Will Cease to Exist with Regard to Human Activity<\/h3>\n

In 2008, a\u00a0risk assessment<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0looked at what would happen if there was a\u00a0breach in Shasta Dam. The result would devastate the entire northern Central Valley. \u201cThe Sacramento River and its tributaries would overtop levees and banks. Massive flooding in the low lands and along the river route would occur to about Knights Landing where it would lose momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n

The same assessment projected a similar fate for the rest of the Central Valley if the Oroville Dam failed. the rest of the Central Valley would be devastated.<\/p>\n

How far south will the flood waters go? I am not sure. But I do know that the flood from Shasta and the flood from Oroville, should they occur in the same time frame, would meet in S. Sacramento where the levees are already failing, courtesy of Gov. Brown\u2019s neglect.<\/p>\n

We will know more by mid-week. Let\u2019s hope Northern California gets a reprieve in the weather forecast and the workers are able to save the Oroville Dam.<\/p>\n

In case you missed my interview with No Cal radio personality, Paul Preston, you will want to listen as it provides a lot of contextual material for this report.<\/p>\n
