That was both quite interesting and scary. I had no idea there were so many dams in the US, nor that so few of them are being properly maintained. It's horrifying how bad the US is about maintaining infrastructure. The magnitude of the problem, which goes far beyond just the dams, is hard to really grasp.

I have family in Oroville, not even kidding.
They were forced to evacuate on sunday, only given 30 minutes notice. They are worried that all their valuables will be looted by the time they return, or worse, under water.
That sucks, man. I hope everything turns out alright.
