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.

i guess the dam broke in the 1930's flooded most of Orange County.
as i drove by the dam on my way home from school...was still 3/4 of the way to the top... looks like it got dang near the top!

never knew a city was down there thats kinda neat to know

Oh damn, I suppose this means your pink panties that go with your pink flip-flops won't get wet.....at least from water anyway.

Theater of the mind.

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.

thats exactly where i live LOU, greenriver and serfas club up in the hills

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.

dam is NORTH of the 91 and EAST of the 71 then the river turns west and continues west to the ocean.....

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.

Look out Corona!!! Aaron Cox is cuttin' wind!!!!

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.

ACE says its stable..... but i should go down and take some pics of the 174,000 gal/sec of water that is coming out

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.

I used to drive a Pinto in High School! (a green one-they're faster!)
Then my brother got it when he went to
college, and we re-named it "the Stallion"!
