Oroville...

The spillway is not repairable until it can be assured to not be required for releases. That means through spring snowmelt/runoff. Even though the Feather drainage is not particular high in elevation, there is still a fair amount of area above 7,000 ft which is holding snow now, and likely will get more over the next 2 and a half months.

 

Interesting map showing who pays how much and how much they get back.

That was very interesting. Surprising to see that some of the red states are the ones getting the most aid.

 

It includes all federal expenditures so SC gets credit for military bases and Savannah River Site.

 

I wonder if they're counting all the money that goes towards large federal parks, Indian reservations, etc too

 

Yeah, I don't like that "report". Just goes to show ya you can make statistics sound like they're sayin' somethin'...

 

What I read was it includes ALL federal expenditures, regardless of purpose.

 

So a state with few people, but lots of federal land (like Montana, Alaska, etc) would be disproportionately represented.

 

As would a State with a disproportionate amount of Welfare recipients, or few...which, I guess, is also disproportionate.

Powerplant slated to be operational tomorrow.

 

Just askin...does bedrock in CA give folks the same level of comfort as it does in states where the ground is a wee bit more stable?

 

Bedrock, CA? Is that where the In-N-Out Brontoburger place is?
