Worst fires ever, dead people, people rushing out of the house in the middle of the night with nothing just steps in front of the fire because they were not warned, in fact there no longer exists a good warning system now that almost no one has land lines. Remember Oroville Dam where the spillway broke to potentially catastrophic result this year:
Failure to do maintenance is state of California mismanagement, just as I claimed at the time. I also was not happy with their water level management, it was stupid to let it get to 100% before they dumped any water just because they wanted to look at a 100% full lake, the spillway had not been used in years, maybe you want to test it out??
MAYBE?
So horrible state of California management happens...did it happen here? Both by failing to control the fires and by failing to warn people?
See I have this theory that California does bad work in part because like Japan before the nuke problem they still have a rep for being able to manage things, so with that and a citizenry who wants to trust them no one ever starts asking the right questions (Including so-called journalists of course), no one ever starts demanding proof that things are getting done, which is good, because they are not. California officials get away with it because citizens do not demand better.
But too many more really bad failures like this and that reputation is gone baby.
What does California do then I wonder.
Oroville Dam: Here's what the spillway looks like nowLast week, the Oroville Dam Spillway Incident Independent Forensic Team, an independent panel of dam experts, concluded that poor design and construction in the 1960s, combined with a failure to perform adequate repairs, led to the spillway failure.
