The huge dam (Prado Dam) a mile from my house (also 300feet lower and downstream from my house) has a leak/seapage issue... so much water backed up behind the dam that it flooded the corona municipal airport under 8 feet of water....
they evacuated 1000 people who are a mile west of the dam....
Army core of engineers have the dam stabilized
cool to watch from a civil engineering student point of view
I read somewhere that there use to be a city located right in the middle of that dam, and after a number of floodings, they built the dam, which obviously, buried that city. That area gets alot of runoff from Chino, etc.

no, those are yours..... you left them here |
here is ron in all his glory
Color me nervous, my house is several miles downstream and less than 500 yards from the banks of the river.
And me with no flood insurance.
I've never lost $700k before and I'm hoping this won't be my first.

Aaron, so you're on the southside of the 91? and the riverbeds on the northside, right?
Hmmmmm, Army Corps of Engineers, Civil Engineering.....leaking dams.......I think there is a trend here.

Nice area there. Commute is brutal, my mom and dad use to live on the east end of Corona, just off California and the 15 FWY. That area is just booming, I use sell new homes in South Corona too. In fact I just turned down a job in Corona because of the commute through Riverside on the 91 FWY, 43 miles one way from Hemet, figured one and a half hours min each way.

I'm at Tustin ave. and the 91, it's technically Orange but used to be Olive, some still call it Orange-Olive. I know, too much info.
Hopefully I'm far enough downstream that if god forbid something did happen the water would mellow out by then, but from what I've read that aint realistic.
I'm south of the river, the only thing between me and it is one block and a brick wall.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks
Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Sammy, we are neighbors...I live off riverdale and glassell, behind the 7-11 on riverview ave. (how's that for a street name for drainage cannal) My neighbor's son works for the army corps of engineers and told me that we should be fine- if we ever have a problem it would flood to the west where the river curves into Anaheim.
