To answer couch's question 2 posts up, the main spillway is concrete (and badly damaged, amazing photos!)
the emergency spillway has a concrete lip but is all dirt after that. That's what the enviro groups sued about 10 years ago. Looks like they were right, the emergency one began to erode immediately.

Cali's looking pretty good right about now, all things considered...

I know, Rick. Most real Californians have fled.
I'll stay and fight as long as I can, but it's getting bad. We're losing.
The State is almost forcing out business with all the regs. It's an unfriendly State to anyone but eco-Nazis and Global Warming freaks.
And illegal immigrants. That's who we'll replace the fleeing population with!
It's insanity.

is Hollywood or Silicon Valley going to save California from the Big One? it's difficult to see the state's abundant wealth of smugness and self-importance saving 30+ million from impending doom
but it's a good snow year! chapeau!

I just moved to Nevada. What a relief! On hwy 50 almost no traffic. The one vehicle I saw heading south on 50 was a covered wagon pulled by a team of six horses. In Fernley, I saw the first sign that political correctness doesnt stink up the state here. People say and do what they want mostly. You can smoke in the bars. Heres a pic of what I saw in Fernley. ZOOM IN TO THE RIGHT OF THE COORS SIGN!

I saw a 2000 foot glaciated overhanging to slabby series of big walls on hwy 376. Have not found any record of ascents. I hope its not choss but it looks polished. My wages are double and my rent is half. It looks like Bishop where I live now. 6300 ft valley with 12000 foot peaks (11780ft). Good flyfishing and noone on the hwy. goodbye traffic. I get five bars of cell reception and groceries are reasonable. No state income tax. I look forward to takimg home 7% more of my check every month. Homes for sale starting at $50,000. Clean air, clean water, big skies. Come join me in the promised land!

Nice chainsaw. Nevada looks like a great place to move if I can not make it in California.

You say that like it's a good thing.
