Oroville Dam and the California Drought

The spillway is to increase runoff to 45,000 CFS starting Wednesday, where it previously was at 15,000 CFS.

Oroville Dam was in the news in February, when increased rains produced a problem with water release. The regular spillway removes dam water overages. When the dam water reaches it’s maximum height, at 960’, the highest dam in America begins using the emergency spillway.

Oroville Dam’s emergency spillway went into use February. The news found the emergency spillway seemed insufficient and an evacuation was called by DWR. 180,000 were evacuated, and crowded into churches, Evacuation Centers, and friends homes outside the dams area. It was chaos. Some had only an hour’s notice. Some were diverted after evacuating. They all got out. After about a week, officials said it was safe to go back, and residents returned to their homes.

The Oroville Dam evacuation of February proved to be a harbinger of what was possible after the 5 year California drought. Climate Change caused heavy rains to appear.

It also damaged the spillway. A lot. The Oroville Dam Spillway was broken in half. Water removal from the spillway had increased to 100,000 CFS, but was now decreased, eventually to zero, while DWR officials checked to see just how bad it was, up close. It was found that ‘it needed fixin’, and Governor Brown went to Washington to ask for funds. That happened and California was going to get it’s dam spillway repaired.

Hundreds of millions of dollars were expected for the repair. Those contracts were appointed, and spillway reconstruction was begun in April 2017. Oroville is to expect completed reconstruction of the spillway by November.

Smoking Deaths

"Smoking deaths account for 1 in 10 deaths worldwide." GMA ABC10 8:25 AM PST, 4/6/17. With the population of Earth at 7.5 billion in 2017, that's 750 million deaths on the planets due to smoking. Can't we stop 750 million (smoking) deaths on our planet? That's twice the population of America, plus! David Schaedler

Imagine above … the “Life Cycle of a Star”. It grows from gravity-fed interstellar matter until it glows, … then explodes to life! Some billions of years later, in burning out, begins to collapse, becoming smaller and smaller, massivity decreasing toward a single point, nuclear reactions ocurring for heavier ad heavier elements, ‘growing’ smaller and smaller. Soon mass will (may) become so compact, so small, as to draw in - even light! This occurs in the instant less than - a second!  More mass at a point means more gravity by that point; What happened to ”E=Mc^2” ?! Inward implosions inflame interior recesses never yet seen, and the black hole, the dark star, forms. Stop. We are watching the event occur - in our time! - of a black hole forming.

What happens? At the ‘event horizon” we are watching at a safe distance in space-time, the ”dark star’s once-insides” turns black, reflecting, releasing, no more light energy, no more normal ”star-stuff”. Outside, light rushes away and escapes ultimate destruction, of crushingly into itself, informing the remaining universe of a star’s final furies. ”Gravity pulls material inward, gas pressure pushes outward”.

Basically, with these words, a black hole has formed.

Past the event horizon, no more light, or even possibly energy, escapes, and we no longer can tell, visually, virtually that anything is there. Nothing. But now, new rules. What happens when atomic and nuclear structure breaks apart?

It’s been said, similar to chemical reactions, some parts of those ”atom’s inside’s” slip away, when confronted with stronger energies, some other’s join up. Billions and billions of atoms, trillions more ‘re-actions’ until the ”Singularity” point in our  space-time has been reached. More ”new rules”.

What happens to all that matter and energy that once was?  All that massive, trillion-ton star mass … vanishing? What happens? Aside from  - the fantastic flash of final flame that can be seen across a galaxy -  nothing?

Nothing but the usual goings on of a trillion-ton ”gas mass”. With the incredible ”forms in space, forms of space and time”, the billions, the trillions! of reactions, … the energy … where does it go? Energy IS matter, matter, energy. Relentless energy, and … dark matter production, is there ‘nothing’ else? What ARE the ”new Dark Matter rules”? Do we have ”Dark Matter” with so much open and released energy?
