Scenes from Oroville, CA
The Oroville Dam and Lake Oroville. This is a big ass dam, the tallest dam in the US, completed in 1968. A big story, in February 2017, the main and emergency spillways threatened to fail, leading to the evacuation of 188,000 people living near the dam. The Lake Oroville Visitors Center has a great exhibit about the emergency. California has an incredible water infrastructure on an unbelievable scale. #OrovilleDam #Oroville #LakeOroville #California #dam #water -
Lake Oroville 4/8/21 vs. 6/18/23:
It was ~725' on 4/8/21, it would then fall ANOTHER 100', and now it has risen to just under its 900' full pool!
