- The record-breaking winter storms have created a dramatic turnaround for Lake Oroville. The DWR said it has only been full twice over the past 15 years.
It was full in 2017.
The emergency spillway overtopped 901'
How can you forget that.
That's what I'm saying, everyone keeps coming up with excuses why that doesn't count. I'm like geez whatever

It most certainly was at least a national event...let alone a near catastrophic tragedy for 200k to be evacuated at the 11th hour! Sheriff Corey Honea deserved an award for his heroics in the humanitarian efforts, then repeated the same during the continual disastrous fires, especially Paradise! He didn't resign, as most do even in our DC administration, showing instrumental efforts toward the homeless population in Northern California. He is only now in his 50's and has my every admiration! Butte County is extremely fortunate to have a man of his quality. My granddaughter was the only child at a town meeting during the damn issue, he took time to personally recognize her excellent behavior all during the meeting. There was also a DWR representative who was very impressed with her questions at just 7 years old. He also took the interest in showing & explaining print outs to encourage her interest! Police Chief Dean also complimented her on her interest. But the Principal & Superintendent of GUSD decided she should be removed & placed into Special Education where her education was severely neglected having simply one hour a day of academics....someone please tell me this was "in the best interest of the child" with a mind as capable as shown & recognized by REAL professionals & compassionate adults????
People wonder why parents are removing their children from public schools...absolutely, she is presently homeschooled🤬
Jordan Reeves was fired & Chris McIntire retired, though Justin Kern (current Superintendent) recognizes the IMPORTANCE of a young developing mind & self esteem💫⭐
Lake Oroville was full and overflowing in February 2017. Six years ago, not 11
I was wondering who wrote this stuff they don't remember 6 years ago.
@@Mike-01234 journalism at its finest
Common core math🤣
The lake was more than 100% full in February 2017 when water went over the emergency spillway not just the main spillway which collapsed and failed.
Thank you Tori!! 🏞🏝
This is super awesome. I told mother nature to fill that reservoir back up and keep the fish happy.🙏😁🙌✅😜
god is good
@@TheSilentpigs100 which gawd? there are thousands.
0:54 No Bud Lights included in those Supplies! 💪🏿🇺🇸🦅 My Man PUN INTENDED.......
With Newsom in charge, it will be empty by July 4.
You think he will drink all the water ?!
The lake was full in 2017 and was at 895' in 2019 just 4' shy of it's current level. Last 10 years is a bit of an exaggeration.
Thank goodness that problem is solved forever. Let's never think about water conservation and allocation reform ever again.
This lake was overflowing back in 2017 which was a little over 6 years ago. The whole reason why the spillway broke and they had to fix it. So where are they getting this 11 years since it was full?????? Anyway it is nice to see it full again
During spring time.....🤦♂️
Mismanagement and defective outflow. It actually never filled to capacity under controlled flow. Uncontrolled full capacity is not considered in this case.
Because they like many hare brains don’t have brain capacity bigger than a 🫛…..
😁👍
Uncle Remus said, on February 11th approximately 8 am 2017, Lake Oroville water level was 100% full and the Emergency spillway was topped. He asked how did You forget that. Uncle Remus said, c'mon man.
Lol came here to mention this, uhhhhh it was at 900+ in 2017!!!!
The folks in that area deserve it... been a tough decade.
Has not goober.
10 years isn't that long ago. We need to implement better ways to store water here in Cali so that we're not just dumping a bunch of it back in the ocean. Maybe instead of oil pipelines we build water pipelines to move water around the country for both storage and use.
I have a way to store water. don't dump any water into the ocean
@@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle But where would it be stored? You can't build infinite reservoirs.
@@vectorvictor6181 Wherever the rain falls that's where
You don’t understand rain cycle Damns caused the problems, fish have gone extinct salmon species. California gets water and you have water for years. If you block the water cycle then you won’t get rain cycles. People who are not native to California either don’t understand the rain cycle or are just not aware of how rain cycles work.
They're working on systems to use some of the overflow to recharge aquifers throughout Central Valley -- which is no small feat. That's where you want all this water is underground so that not so much is lost to evaporation. My guess is CA has one more decent wet season next winter during El Niño; after that it'll probably be back to drought, so the time is now to work on whatever system they want to put in place to recharge groundwater reservoirs.
It has not been ten years since the lake was at 100%. 2017 the emergency spillway was used for its only time.
Ya!!! Love Lake Oriville❤
That drone shot was amazing. I could’ve looked at a lot more of that.
Sweet ! My wish came true.
Now will CPUC push the water company lower their rates down to pre-drought levels?
Hell yeah, Brother!
That’s awesome.
After years of drought, California was not prepared to store all the water received this year. California should have doubled their capacity during the ten years for this event.
we are going into el nino meaning more storms hope tulare grows 👍
Nah, "sanctuary state" was more important......LMFAO
Ok, are you offering up your own lands as new flood reservoirs or other people's lands?
@@selanryn5849 Good point.
@@selanryn5849 Thankfully, a group of farmers up in northern california took a buyout on their properties and a new reservoir that's been in the works for 15 years has finally started to move.
The lake was full and spilling water early 2017. In less than 5 years of below average rainfull, 1:28, where did the water go in just about 4 years?
Im a bass angler and have fished most of the reservoirs here in California that have a good bass population more than once. Im only 1.5 hours from Oroville, one of the largest reservoirs in the state and I have never fished it. I have to get out there before fall.
How's the dam holding? Snow melt is over with?
How's construction on lake lemontree 🍋 🍋 🍋 state reservoir coming along ? With 18,000,000,000,000 gallon capacity in California?
What they aren’t telling you is that they have been releasing water in the reservoirs an that’s why they’re not all full.
whenever the left controls the dept of the interior
this lake was over flowing in 17 and damaged the spillway
typical horrible reporting
Nice 😊
Why are not folsom and the rest of the lakes full?
You won't see a repeat of the spillway crises because it's a rebuilt new spillway, not because of water releases wrecking it.
If this doesn't give you a newer appreciation for Mother Nature, Climate Change, her arch-nemesis, and the role we ALL play in protecting our natural resources then you don't have a soul.
Climate change is a political hoax!
Sweet No Bud Light 😂
Do people drink the water from the lake? Do the house boats cause pollution?
Yes they do in Las Vegas they ran raw sewage into lake mead for days? It’s the second time in less than five years that is happened. They build casinos and waste water and build a stupid race track but can’t build a better recycling system that prevents raw sewage from going into their lake.
@@anthonymartinez4307that’s disgusting
Lake Shasta is basically full, they don't want to let it hit 100% due to technicalities.
Isn’t unpredictability the only consistency for lakes in the desert?
God is blessing CA. Thank you Jesus!😊😂❤
Well now it's full we all can go there party up that's smart thinking
beware, the water is high, but remember how bad it was, you must conserve even at this point
Enjoy. I hope it lasts. I'm not optimistic. I'm by Mead. I'd be happy with 40% capacity.
thank god- hope people dont mess it up...
Did someone forget to mention 2017?? The Emergency spillway overflowed on my 40th Birthday.
Wait a minute, where all that watercome from? Been raining that much lately? What about Powell.
Snow.....🤦♂️
This is Cali. Powell is in southern Utah. Get a map.
Powell is getting more than its share of runoff from the Rockies too. The amount it's getting will spare both Powell and Mead for at least a couple more years.
@@coolwiz7994 oh sorry , I'm blind , not very good with maps.
Wow! Two whole minutes. Now to our commercials.
This lake is a reservoir.
Awesome!! Bet Calif going to be saying a drought.
It's a drought stricken staaaaaate...... Haha
already are
Gotta justify all those green Californian lawns and swimming pools!
It was at 901 in 2017. I’d say your facts were a bit off! It was 100% full 6 years ago!
Lake Mead next. It's up 20 feet so far
It was full in 2017
He gives the best explanation.! Oh yeah 300,000 swimming pools and what not ? I’m pretty sure he’s done such a thing 😂
remember thank to God.
Godbless them for not drinking Bud light....
Someone's F-ing with the h2o
2017 Orville was Over Full remember the destruction of the spillway?
Can I have my
HIGH FLOW SHOWER HEADS BACK!?
Hooray for the Drunk Boaters! U.S.A!
A decade? Ahh…2017 was 6 years ago! I guess the media has no idea what the definition of Decade is!
Didn't realize 2017 was a decade ago.
but chicken little said the sky was falling??
It was full in 2017. Why are they lying?
That's cool. You can do that in just about every lake in Texas.
Stop wasting the water, let’s get it to 110%
Have fun, they won't last long,drought will be back.
Maybe the lake had to go dry so skeletal remains were found!
Break the dam release the river!!!!!
Yea lets keep building more infastructure the lakes are full
California should have been building storage reservoirs, during the drought years, to capture the overflow water during wet years when the lakes and reservoirs eventually fill.
The favorite comment of clueless people from out of state.🤮☠️💩
Good luck with German or Danish!
Everyone is moving out 🤷🏻♂️ Of course you have more water now 😆😂🤣
Cesspool, where is all their shit going?
NOW THEY WILL PISS ALL THAT WATER AWAY 😂
Gosh, Nature recovered all by itself without Biden saving it.
The climate folks will blame this on the warm weather melting the icebergs in Alaska
Math is not their strong point.
Damnit global warming, you melted all the snow and now we have to let water out of the dam to prevent flooding. We just can't win!
I blame global warming and the severe dry conditions associated with it for this abundance of water now ...... oh wait 🤦🏿♂️
That's exactly what they're selling. Yes, they really do think we're that stupid -- or we're all as neurotic as Greta Thunberg - and if not the media will try to make us that way.
Boats are the least efficient mode of transportation. I’d say greenhouse gasses is a major contributor in drought and other climate issues. So, none of these folks realize they are the cause.
Go tell that to China and India. Good luck!
typical horrible reporting it OVERFLOWED in 2017.
So what you're saying is everything is back to normal and there is no Climate Emergency. Actually, there hasn't been a Climate Emergency since... well... never. But thanks for the Drama!
Great. Can we stop calling droughts in desert areas proof of catastrophic manmade climate change? Or are low levels of precipitation and high levels of precipitation simultaneously proof of manmade climate change?
get out the hamburgers and hotdogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG not again Fear Panic Duh Feast or Famine "WHATEVER"
CBS TELL the Biden News ?
Soon to be mismanaged
Democrat policies. ✅
I'd loved to visit until I found out it was in California, no thanks!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Boats pollute lake.
Must be global warming
whats up government mismanagement we meet again
Guess global warming ended
But, but, global warming. SUVs, bad.
So much for the climate alarmists’s worst drought in 1200 years.
yet they still complain about water
Better not lie and make it fake where they say California is dry again 😅
