This year has been a record-breaking year for many things, especially weather.  The MidWest has been inundated with flooding, wind and Tornado damage.  The farmers have already lost so much of their livestock and may have to watch many more of them die.  They have lost the stored crops and have no hope of a crop for this current growing season.  They have lost their homes, their personal automobiles, their work vehicles, their outbuildings.  They have lost everything.  Please keep them in your prayers.  

Meanwhile, pray for our nation.  There are some very scary times just up ahead.  When there are no jobs and no food…people will become desperate. Desperate people take desperate actions.  Beware and be safe.  

Below are the updates posted over the last 6 months for your review.

The world’s ageing dams are not built for ever more extreme weather

TECHNOLOGY | ANALYSIS 2 August 2019

Dams are typically designed to cope with a so-called 1-in-100-year flood event. But as the world warms the odds of extreme rainfall are changing, meaning the risk of failure is far greater. Engineers have been warning for years that many old dams around the world are already unsafe and need upgrading or dismantling.

what happened at the Oroville Dam in California in February 2017. … earthen dams where excess water flows over the top of the dam and down a concrete-lined spillway.

If this concrete is damaged, the water flowing down the spillway can rapidly erode the earth underneath, and there is a risk of the entire dam wall collapsing.

There is a much greater chance of this happening when extreme rainfall or melting of snow leads to very high water flows into already full dams. A 2018 study concluded that climate change exacerbated the high water flows that led to the erosion of the Oroville Dam spillway, where 190,000 people had to evacuate and repairs cost $1.1 billion.

Not all countries have such regular inspection regimes. In the US, it varies widely from state to state. California has a relatively strict regime but astoundingly Alabama doesn’t require inspections of its 2300 dams.

Globally there have been at least 40 dam failures since 2000, resulting in hundreds of deaths. The most recent was the failure of the Tiware dam in India on 2 July after heavy rains, killing at least 19 people. The worst was in 1975, when an estimated 170,000 died after the failure of the Banqiao dam in China.

Please pray for the folks who are protesting in Sacramento TODAY.  They are up against the establishment and that is a scary place.  My hats off to those brave souls and I pray that God gives them favor with everyone.

Update 6/2/19

San Francisco Bay drains water from approximately 40 percent of California. Water from the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, and from the Sierra Nevada mountains, flow into Suisun Bay, which then travels through the Carquinez Strait to meet with the Napa River at the entrance to SanPablo Bay, which connects at its south end to San Francisco Bay.   Wikipedia

 

The biggest danger zone lies in the Central Valley at the base of the Sierra Nevada, whose tall peaks can wring the skies of huge amounts of rain and snow. The area is essentially one giant floodplain that would be easily transformed into an inland sea without man-made flood control. At 400 miles long and 40 miles wide, it has only a tiny bottleneck from which to drain— a one-mile opening at the Carquinez Strait at San Pablo Bay — before water heads into the San Francisco Bay.  Source

 

LA Times reports that earlier this month, the 78-year-old Prado Dam was assessed by government officials and engineers. And after taking a look at the aging structure, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers raised the dam’s risk category from “moderate” to “high urgency.” This means that the next “significant flood event” could potentially breach the Prado Dam’s spillway, thereby possibly flooding local Riverside and Orange County communities from Disneyland Resort in Anaheim all the way to Newport Beach. 

The Prado Dam is located adjacent to the 91 Freeway nearby Riverside and Orange counties. For most of the year, the dam holds little to no water. But during significantly rainy seasons or in times of damaging storms, the structure is intended to collect water and prevent flooding along the Santa Ana River, which runs throughout southern California. If nearly-100-year-old structure breaks or is badly damaged in the next big rain storm, the consequences could be dire.

“Our concern right now is about the concrete slab of the spillway and how well it will perform if water were to spill over the top of the dam,” said Lillian Doherty, the Army Corps’ division chief.  Source

Mural being removed from Prado Dam

BySid Garcia

Sunday, March 22, 2015

EMBED <>MORE VIDEOS A patriotic mural is being removed from the Prado Dam as part of a modernization project.

CHINO HILLS, Calif. (KABC) — The 74-year-old Prado Dam in Chino Hills was originally built for flood control to protect San Bernardino County from mountain runoff, and now a $2.3 billion modernization has reconfigured the dam for multiple uses.

“The number on capacity that we have here for the dam is for flood control, that’s our primary mission. So if we did have a flood threat we’ll make sure that we do have sufficient capacity to handle that flood,” said David Van Dorpe with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. “Right now there’s not very much water behind our dam. We’re hoping that we do get a little more rain here in the spring before we go into the dry summer months.”

The drought has not produced much runoff to store water, but once the project is complete the dam will be able to store most of the rainfall and runoff.

In the years past, much of it would flow from the Santa Ana River down to the ocean, engineers said.

But the Prado Dam is best known for its patriotic mural, which was painted in 1976. It can be seen on the 91 Freeway traveling through Corona.

Upon closer inspection, the mural is faded, damaged by weather and defaced with graffiti. Dam engineers said the mural will have to be removed.

“When it was originally painted in 1976, they used lead-based paints. We can’t risk getting that lead-based paints either into our environment, or our water supply, or to the ocean so the mural it does have to come down,” Dorpe said.

A public hearing on the mural will be held at Corona High School on April 9. The removal process will begin at the end of April.

I am totally convinced the elite, who decide the fate of the world in their little covert meetings, have decided it is cheaper and easier to destroy the USA, and rebuild “from the Ashes” than to try to fix the issues.  How convenient that this also enables them to make significant progress toward their depopulation goals, at the same time.  How ironic that all those ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS pouring into our nation and demanding their free ride, don’t realize they are being led to the slaughter.

What mainstream weather experts have to say about this storm is only the tip of the iceberg of what’s troubling:

While tropical storms usually gather power from the warm waters of the ocean and then weaken once they move over land, NASA-funded research has shown some storms can actually strengthen over land by drawing from the evaporation of abundant soil moisture. The phenomenon is known as the “brown ocean” effect. ”

All the things a hurricane likes over the ocean is what we have over land right now.”

Midwest and Plains brace for more severe weather and flooding after Tuesday’s onslaught

A large wedge tornado April 30 near Blue, Okla. (Alex Spahn, @spahn711/Twitter)

By Ian Livingston

May 1 at 12:56 PM

Severe weather erupted Tuesday across the central United States. Numerous tornadoes touched down in at least five states, with the focus of severe weather fury targeting Oklahoma.

Heavy rain and flooding also were common. Large zones of three or more inches of rain fell across parts of Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas and Illinois, in particular.

River flooding, which has plagued portions of the central United States since March, was aggravated by Tuesday’s rain. As the Mississippi River surged to near-record levels in parts of Iowa, a flood barrier failed in Davenport and water poured into the city.

More dangerous storms and flooding are predicted for the middle of the nation Wednesday.

Another severe weather volley

More than two dozen reports of tornadoes have been logged for Tuesday. At least a few more reports are likely to trickle in as the National Weather Service investigates the event.

It was the biggest tornado outbreak of the year in parts of the Plains, where places like Oklahoma were hit by numerous tornadoes after a slow start to 2019. The outbreak also caps an active month of weather that featured two large-scale severe weather outbreaks in prior weeks.

Storms got off to an unusually early start Tuesday, with tornadoes in central andeastern parts of Oklahoma around lunchtime. This is when the incredible tornado captured by drone touched down.

From that point through the afternoon and into evening, clusters of tornadic supercells dotted the landscape from Missouri to Texas. After dark, more tornadoes, including a large wedge that did major damage, scoured the landscape in southern Oklahoma as others touched down elsewhere.

On Wednesday, the southern Plains into the ArkLaTex are under the gun for dangerous weather. Another spoke of cold and buoyant air in the fast jet-stream aloft will mix with copious low-level moisture to set off storms across a region, focused on north Texas.

Tornadoes and large hail are possible. Eventually, storms might consolidate into a complex with widespread damaging winds. And with these storms will come more rain.

Flooding now, and beyond

As has been the story for weeks, flooding is ongoing at many locations along the Mississippi River, as well as tributaries to it, and other major waterways across the Midwest and the South.

In Davenport, Iowa, a flash-flood emergency was issued late Tuesday as a flood barrier failed and water poured into the city. Although only a small part of downtown flooded, streets turned to lakes in some sections. The failure was spurred by the Mississippi River rising to near-historic levels. A gauge at Rock Island near the city is poised to threaten levels seen during the 1993 flood on Wednesday before waters subside.

Tuesday’s situation in Davenport is not expected to worsen, as the Mississippi River is heavily contained in most areas.

To the south, an area from Illinois to Oklahoma saw round after round of flash-flood inducing rain Tuesday. Wednesday morning, most of Missouri was under flood warnings as numerous creeks and streams overflowed their banks.

Any additional rainfall is likely to exacerbate it, and more is on the way over the next few days. On Wednesday, a moderate risk for excessive rainfall is focused on the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with a lower but still notable heavy rainfall threat extending into a larger region and then shifting eastward for Thursday.

This latest round of high water should peak in the next few days, with levels falling off thereafter. In many cases, levels dropping still means major flooding ongoing into next week.

The renewed round of flooding comes because the storm train has been running since winter. Signs continue to point to an active period ahead for much of the Lower 48.

With an outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for May that calls for good chances of above-average precipitation in the same regions already experiencing flooding, it’s likely that widespread high water is a story that will persist in the weeks ahead.

And, of course, patterns that cause flooding tend to also bring thunderstorms. May is peak for tornadoes in the United States, as more of the country comes under threat from violent storms.

What Happens If the Dam Collapses?

The experts I speak with tell me, that in the event of a dam collapse, the water will come rushing out at 75 MPH. The water will be 30 feet high. Sacramento would be under water in less than hour. DWS says it would take two hours for the water to reach Sacramento. The point is largely irrelevant. The city could not be successfully evacuated within two hours. Almost two million lives are at risk. 

If the dam collapses, the CALEXIT people will realize their goal of eliminating California’s contribution to the nation’s agricultural and world’s supply of food. The affected Central Valley is one of the top suppliers of fruits, nuts and vegetables in the world. Spot famines would result. Further 30% of America’s retail crosses Interstate 15 and that would be stopped immediately and this at a time when the retail collapse of America is already underway with the closing of 6,000 stores in the first quarter of 2019. This event could collapse our economy. And I want to stress that is a preliminary report. I have prepared a summary report below in the following. I will be publishing photos as they arrive and are converted in a publishable format.

“We expect the flooding will get worse and become more widespread,” a National Weather Service official said.

March 21, 2019, 9:38 PM CDT  – By Dennis Romero

Late winter’s deadly flooding could turn into catastrophic spring flooding in the Midwest and beyond, forecasters said.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s “spring outlook” issued Thursday came with dire warnings, even as flooding was already tormenting states including Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri. “More than 200 million people are at risk for flooding in their communities,” Ed Clark, director of NOAA’s National Water Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, said in a statement.

Three deaths from the Midwest flooding have been confirmed, and on Thursday, President Donald Trump approved Nebraska’s request for federal disaster assistance. The Nebraska National Guard used helicopters Thursday to drop hay bales to feed cows stranded by floodwaters.

Midwest flooding inundates farms, rural towns to threaten livelihoods and futures

Heavy rain supplemented by rapid snow melt has widened rivers and put farms underwater. But Mary C. Erickson, deputy director of National Weather Service, on Thursday warned that the trouble may just be beginning.

“The major flooding we’ve already experienced across the lower Missouri [River region] and the lower to middle Mississippi [River] valley is a preview to what we expect the rest of the spring,” she said. “In fact, we expect the flooding will get worse and become more widespread.”

The outlook states that spring, which this year concludes on June 20, could bring major or moderate flooding in 25 states, with at least two-thirds of the continental United States expected to see an “elevated” flood risk and above-average precipitation.

Flood emergency devastates Midwestern farms

MARCH 19, 201901:04

“Additional spring rain and melting snow will prolong and expand flooding, especially in the central and southern U.S.,” the federal outlook reads. “As this excess water flows downstream through the river basins, the flood threat will become worse and geographically more widespread.”

Erickson said flooding could stretch into May.

“The communities in the high-risk threat areas need to prepare for impacts as the floodwaters move down the river system,” she said.

Jack Boston, senior meteorologist at AccuWeather, said the private forecaster has a similar outlook for spring, with most of the flooding in Missouri and Mississippi river regions likely occurring in April.

With as much as 19 inches of snow on the ground in parts of the Dakotas and a lot of snow remaining in western Minnesota, the situation doesn’t bode well, he said: “All that snow has to melt.”

California and Colorado mountains also have above-normal snow pack that has been boosted by a weak El Niño weather condition in the Pacific, he said.

That could contribute to spring avalanches, Boston said.

An Infrastructure Plan for America’s Waterways  
By Jenny Rowland-Shea Posted on October 18, 2016, 9:01 am

U.S. infrastructure is in bad shape. Across the country, streets marred with potholes, overcrowded airports, and out-of-date school facilities have become the norm. But the United States’ failing infrastructure causes more than just commonplace inconveniences. Crumbling infrastructure poses real dangers to Americans’ health and safety, as illustrated by the contaminated water system in Flint, Michigan; flooding due to poor storm water drainage systems in Texas and Louisiana; the failing metro system in Washington, D.C.; and blackouts caused by extreme weather and outdated electrical grids in cities across the country.

A new report from the American Society of Civil Engineers, or ASCE, quantifies how the United States’ chronic underinvestment in infrastructure—spending only half of what is needed—has created an investment gap that affects the economy, safety, jobs, communities, and health. As infrastructure continues to age without proper investment and upkeep, the costs to maintain and repair it continue to rise over time. The report found that if infrastructure deficiencies are not addressed, it could cost the economy almost $4 trillion in gross domestic product, or GDP, and 2.5 million jobs by 2025. In short, policymakers’ short-term cost cuts will cause massive expenses in the long term.

The country’s dam infrastructure is not exempt from this underinvestment. With an ASCE grade of a D, the country’s nearly two million dams are one of the most pressing infrastructure challenges for safety, the environment, and the economy. While most of these dams were originally built for economic purposes—including to power mills and factories developed during the industrial revolution and for flood and debris control, water storage and irrigation, hydropower, navigation, and recreation—many of their original purposes and benefits have diminished. In fact, many dams are now obsolete, costly, aging, and unsafe.
