    California Governor Jerry Brown Asks President Trump for Help

    by AWR HAWKINS
    12 Feb 2017

    On Friday, California Governor Jerry Brown sought federal help from President Trump by asking the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to declare “a major disaster” in California in light of the damage done by recent storms.

    The East Bay Times reports: “Brown formally requested the declaration for the series of storms striking the state between Jan. 3 and Jan. 12.” He noted that “heavy rains, winds and snow, particularly in Northern California, left eight people dead and knocked out power to an estimated 1 million Californian homes and businesses.”

    Brown’s request comes as Gov. Brown has challenged the Trump administration on climate change, immigration, Obamacare, and other issues.

    Other Democrat officials in California have been open about their refusal to comply with Trump administration orders regarding illegal immigration. San Francisco’s police chief, sheriff, and mayor all made clear they would not enforce Trump’s immigration order, long before the order was taken to court. The San Francisco Police Department went so far as to cut ties with an FBI counter-terrorism task force in order to prevent officers from being involved in action that targeted illegals.

    And California’s highest law enforcement agent, Attorney General Xavier Becerra, has been very open about his determination to fight Trump’s policies as part of the larger effort to retain sanctuary policies that harbor illegal aliens in the state.

    But Gov. Brown would like some federal funds to help out in the short term, so he is asking the Trump administration for help.

    Notably, Gov. Brown also used his “State of the State” address earlier this year to welcome Trump’s commitment to infrastructure spending.

    Oh puleeze. You had some snow and rain and you, the 6th largest economy in the world, can't get your power back on without FEMA??!!! Honestly?? What a bunch of beggar cry-babies. You want to defy US taxpayers? Then tell your power companies to get the power back on, tell your cities and counties to hire some illegals and go clean up the mess. You want to DEFY OUR LAWS that get US citizens killed and robbed and unemployed? Really?? Then you go take care of yourselves.

    Restore the drivers licenses to illegals data bank you destroyed - sure it is retrievable. Half of the dls in CA went to illegals last year. Co-operate with US laws of the land instead of hindering them; jeopardizing your state's citizens by surrounding them with millions of illegals.

    This is NOT a FEMA disaster. The Dam has not broken. California has BILLIONS for illegal aliens. Take it out of your illegal alien fund. Take it out of the Bullet Train Fund to nowhere! Take it out of Eric Holder's salary! LOL

    Not one dime to California.

    Gaping Hole in Spillway for Tallest US Dam Keeps Growing


    • By DON THOMPSON, ASSOCIATED PRESS

    OROVILLE, Calif. — Feb 9, 2017, 9:11 PM ET


    A gaping hole in the spillway for the tallest dam in the United States grew Thursday and California authorities said they expect it will continue eroding as water washes over it but the Oroville Dam and the public are safe.

    Earlier this week, chunks of concrete flew off the nearly mile-long spillway, creating a 200-foot-long, 30-foot-deep hole. Engineers don't know what caused cave-in that is expected to keep growing until it reaches bedrock.


    But faced with little choice, the state Department of Water Resources resumed ramping up the outflow from Lake Oroville over the damaged spillway to keep up with all the runoff from torrential rainfall in the Sierra Nevada foothills.


    Officials said the critical flood-control structure is at 90 percent of its capacity. But the dam is still safe and so are Oroville's 16,000 residents.


    "The integrity of the dam is not jeopardized in any way because the problem is with the spillway and not the dam," department spokesman Eric See said.


    Located about 150 miles northeast of San Francisco, Oroville Lake is one of the largest man-made lakes in California and 770-foot-tall Oroville Dam is the nation's tallest.


    The lake is a central piece of California's government-run water delivery network, supplying water for agriculture in the Central Valley and residents and businesses in Southern California.


    After years of drought Northern California has endured several months of exceptionally wet weather. Oroville and other lakes are brimming and have begun releasing water to make room for more runoff.


    The initial damage to the spillway occurred Tuesday, about 3,000 feet downstream from where water enters from the lake. The water flowing out of the hole quickly turned brown with mud as it consumed trees and soil before rejoining the main channel below in a massive confluence wave that sent up clouds of mist in the tree-lined canyon.


    The lake was rising at a half-foot per hour Thursday as the inflow peaked at 121,000 cubic feet per second, officials said at a news conference about a mile from the spillway.

    They were releasing water at about 40,000 cubic feet per second.


    That's not enough to keep the lake from continuing to rise, officials said, but is expected to keep them from having to use a nearby emergency spillway that has never been used since the dam was dedicated in 1968, when Ronald Reagan was governor.


    As a backup plan, state workers and contractors were pulling out trees and bushes by the roots from the emergency spillway to keep them from floating downstream.


    If the department can't keep using the eroded concrete spillway, Lake Oroville would naturally flow over an ungated concrete crest into the mostly unlined emergency spillway once the reservoir reaches 901 feet elevation. The reservoir came within a foot of flowing over in January 1997.


    Meanwhile, workers at a state hatchery for California's native Chinook salmon loaded up all the millions of baby salmon into tanker trucks Thursday afternoon to try to save them from the mud, concrete chunks and other debris coming their way from the crumbling spillway.


    The hatchery, on the Feather River, is vital to the survival of chinook salmon, whose numbers have dwindled during the drought. Hatchery managers planned to take the tiny young salmon to another holding point they hoped was far enough away.


    The department continued to operate hydraulic power plants both at the base of the Oroville dam and downstream, Thomas said, with contingency plans in place to protect them. If they have to be shut down, which is not anticipated, he said state power managers would draw from other sources on the interconnected electrical grid.

    Evacuations Ordered Due to ‘Hazardous Situation’ Developing at Oroville Dam Emergency Spillway

    POSTED 4:36 PM, FEBRUARY 12, 2017, BY GENNY MCLAREN, UPDATED AT 04:35PM, FEBRUARY 12, 2017

    OROVILLE — Immediate evacuations have been ordered for residents of the low levels of Oroville and areas downstream, according to officials with the California Department of Water Resources.

    Officials say a hazardous situation is developing with the Oroville Dam auxiliary spillway. The operation of the auxiliary spillway has led to severe erosion that could lead to a failure of the auxiliary spillway.


    Officials are anticipating a failure of the auxiliary spillway at Oroville Dam within the next 60 minutes.


    Failure will result in an uncontrolled release of flood waters from Lake Oroville.


    The DWR is increasing water released to 100,000 cubic feet per second.


    Immediate evacuation from the low levels of Oroville and areas downstream have been ordered.


    The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for possible dam failure. Areas affected include Oroville, Palermo, Gridley, Thermalito, South Oroville, Oroville Dam, Oroville East and Wyandotte.


    Residents should evacuate in a northward direction, toward Chico.

    The flash flood warning is in effect until 4:15 p.m. Monday.
