I previously posted a full 7 hrs before the mandatory emergency the warning from Adapt2030 .After the evacuations were announced it took some folks stuck in traffic 10 hrs to travel 60 miles.
With the up to 10 inches of rain and snow expected starting now and lasting 5 days the
Next over flow will be 3-5x higher than the
last topping. Very strong warning again in this video. He claims they are making a mistake ignoring the parking lot damage . I agree and stated so in the last post.

    No warning .....Cities immediately downstream of California's Lake Oroville dam would not receive adequate warning or time for evacuations if the 770-foot-tall dam itself — rather than its spillways — were to abruptly fail, the state water agency that operates the nation's tallest dam repeatedly advised federal regulators a half-decade ago.

    .OROVILLE — Five Oroville Dam workers were fired for posting spillway photographs to social media.

    A spokesperson for the California Department of Water Resources told KRON that a number of employees working under the Folsom contracting company Syblon Reid violated the terms of their contract by posting the pictures.

    A Syblon Reid contractor had forbidden a spillway team from capturing any activities at the dam and sharing the footage via social media. The contracting company has enforced this “no social media/no photos” policy at all of their construction sites.

    Why -1 for this warning You are an idiot not to like advanced notice of a urgent situation.
    Last weekend due to emergency evacuation people had a half hour to get out only to sit stopped in traffic for hours and hours.

    this new storm could be strongest in 20 years says national weather service

    The next wave of torrential downpour is expected to hit Southern California by daybreak Friday as northern parts of the state brace for whether the Oroville Dam can withstand more rain this weekend.

    Flash flood watches affecting more than 21 million people are in effect for Los Angeles, Ventura and Southern Santa Barbara counties, the National Weather Service said.

    “The storm looks to be the strongest storm to hit southwest California this season. It is likely the strongest within the last six years and possibly even as far back as December 2004 or January 1995,” according to the National Weather Service.

    Parts of the south-facing foothills and coastal mountain slopes could see up to 10 inches of rain through the weekend, meteorologists said
