I visited Shasta Lake on Saturday... so beautiful and still filling with water! Water isn't being released there like at Lake Oroville, which has now FALLEN a foot to the same level it was on Thursday!

Last Friday, 15,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) began being released from Lake Oroville, THIS is 25,000 cfs, and it's increasing to 35,000 cfs tomorrow!
Oro Dam Boulevard will be closed tomorrow because it will be unsafe to drive through all the mist... I had to use my windshield wipers today!

The California Department of Water Resources says "Releases from #OrovilleDam to the Feather River were increased to 20K cfs today and will increase to 25K cfs tomorrow due to heavy inflows into #LakeOroville. We will continue to adjust releases based on ongoing weather conditions and #flood control guidelines set by the @USACEHQ"

The rain has stopped (for now) in northern California, but the snow melt and runoff continue. Both Lake Oroville & Shasta Lake have risen almost 10 feet in less than two days, and they're still rising!

California has been dealing with storms, heavy rain and potential flooding. Today, the state began releasing millions of gallons of water from #LakeOroville, despite ongoing #drought conditions. This release is the first since 2019 and came as a precaution against #flooding to communities downstream in case of a possible spillover.
