They cannot drain it.
Next weeks come Wednesday they are looking at getting another 6-7" of rain through that week in this same region, just what they do not need.
If it overflows, it is headed straight towards Sacramento which is like a giant pit. People have been out in little row boats in areas already just from the rain alone last week.
They are telling people to go north to get away from the dam. It is extremely dangerous.
It seems 130,000 have evacuated as of a couple of hours ago.
If they can manage to drain a portion off to repair it, that is their only option at the moment best I know. How they go about doing this is beyond my comprehension!
