While Nagin whined there was no way to evacuate people.Same thing happened with Katrina.
If Governator wasn't taking care of the infrastructure, why didn't governor moonbeam?
California is a special kind of stupid.
What was so disgusting about Katrina was how Ray Nagin helped to falsely paint Bush as a racist...then Nagin goes to Federal prison for 15 years for corruption from stealing Katrina relief funds from his own people.
...but Katrina was Bush's fault because he is racist.
Is Nagin racist for stealing money from his black constituents?

They knew there was a real problem in 2013 when an inspection was done. It was dry as a bone in 2014 they should have initiated repairs but they didn't.In 2005, three environmental groups warned state and federal officials about what they believed was a problem with Oroville Dam’s emergency spillway, which was at risk of collapsing over the weekend as recent storms caused the adjacent massive reservoir to swell.
Their concern, which seemed to have fallen on deaf ears: The emergency spillway, which is meant to be used in urgent situations — is not really a spillway. Rather, it’s a 1,700-foot long concrete weir that empties onto a dirt hillside. That means, in the event of severe flooding, water would erode that hillside and flood nearby communities, the groups said then.
Officials were warned the Oroville Dam emergency spillway wasn’t safe. They didn’t listen.

Taken in 2013 by an individual who posted it along with other places they have been hiking. You can see where a little undercut is started in the photo a little over halfway down to the right. I would bet someone has better photos of it out there.

This show and interview also states they inspected it in 2013
Anyone know what they are mining two plus miles away? This guy says they were blasting on Feb 9.
I know there was a minor earthquake just to the north of the dam on the 8th.
Don't know about the mining, other than this

Do remember though, they have known for years there were problems with the spillways and did pretty much nothing.

City Cisterns!Conservatives in California have been calling for a secondary dam for years that could dramatically increase fresh water reserves for farmers.
But the left said no.
