Sacramento County declares state of emergency over damaged levee

[@marilynngray-raine7581]

There are two kinds of levees: those that have failed and those that haven’t failed yet.

[@Mrbfgray]

This is just to get "emergency" funds. Situation normal. !YAWN!

In the winter of 1861 the entire city of Sacramento went under water and didn't dry out until summer.

[@marymichael1211]

Thank you for bringing this up, so I finally looked this up . . . Wikipedia has an item "Great Flood of 1862" with a lithograph of a street in Sacramento as a river with boats in it.

[@Mrbfgray]

Entire Central Valley becomes a great lake every 160 yrs on average, that was most recent. (thought it was 1864ish...trivial) This here is what we call Winter. Situation normal.

[@danielbierwirth2190]

And that is the reason why the city was raised... I want to say 24 ft, maybe just 12 ft but it was raised using fill dirt. If you go to Old Sacramento, you will find that the original 1st floors of all those Pre-1861buildings is underground. That flood is also the impedes for the levee system we have now.

Gavin knew knew these levees situation from a few years back this is always been a concern. They’ve always should be maintained! Gavin Newsom is the governor and to call this A state of emergency is a cop out when it should’ve been taken care of continuously so it doesn’t have to wait until something. Serious happens.! They knew and they did nothing.!!!!

[@hermosafieldsforever4782]

God bless your common sense❤ This should have been addressed immediately after the January February flooding. The reason that the Governor hasn't called the army corps of engineers is that it's detrimental to his sparkling sheen. The water district lacks the workforce to combat this. Call the Army Corps. Idiots❤❤❤

[@JesusSavedMe-Alizabeth4truth]

@ thank you Gavin Newson loves emergencies and disasters because it brings money to him so he can redirect the funding and silver line his pocket! he invents an ER that he has put on the back burner! He’s a poor governor and that’s an understatement! . Take the wildfires for example he was given funding to manage the the forest to redirects that funding.. he took the money away from the people which the funding was to go to to help them cut down dead trees in high fire areas, THEN opened up a campsite with campfires along the American river of the north Fork in El Dorado and Placer County. It is called the asra project. He literally eminent domain people’s property for his project that created more fires. All the wild people in foothill areas can’t get insurance, and the forest is laden with dead trees.! And no funding to remove them or clean them up he lined his pockets! that funding WAS reverted it to free healthcare to those who came across the border illegally WHILE WE HAVE VETERANS WHO ARE HOMELESS! now business owners are having to pay to the bill for his mismanagement of the Covid funding that too was redirected! no one has ever truly audited Gavin Newsom no one! to find out where he has spent this money from disaster to disaster to disaster. He has received relief funding, and yet California is so far in the hole that no one can get out of this debt. Our roads are pitted with potholes yet we pay high gas tax & dmv and a portion was supposed to go to filling the potholes yet they do not. It’s all a scam and he takes a situation that should’ve been addressed far before any disaster ever happened and calls it an emergency so he can get money that will never go to the emergency It was meant to! He was taught this by aunt Nancy Pelosi the master con artist!

[@jasminelindros8923]

Anyone who is NOT worried about this is probably unaware that part of the western end of Sherman Island is now called Sherman Lake.

[@garyquail4996]

If the governor was smart enough he could have used the money that went to that high-speed Light Rail boondoggle and put it in the river Levee infrastructure instead.

[@jeromevonloodwig5851]

Don’t forget about all the money he’s using to trump proof the state.

[@metadegen]

[@robedmund9948]

But they would have only built THREE FEET of levee, so.............no.

[@scottsexton2590]

I'd bet somewhere in your family tree someone was saying " horseless carriage what a joke that'll never catch on" lol or put another way think about eminent domain taking property from land owners with all the attorneys/courts fees and or paying land owners high prices for land and paying to move PG&E power lines to then take taxpayers dollars to add a single lane to the highway that's already choked and inefficient add to that emergency vehicles trying to navigate through that mess at different hours of the day and your waiting for them. The train has been & will be the cheapest way to solve the congestion of highways and move people around and worth mentioning the homes & businesses that'll spring up adjacent the tracks .

[@pavernater]

@@scottsexton2590 then our local government shouldn't have lied to us about the cost. they knew it would cost way more. it's like, hey we've gone this far so let's not stop now. it's Jerry Browns legacy(Newsom's uncle), that Newsom's try to fulfill. I'm not sure any train, has paid for itself. this one won't, in my opinion.

[@myexpressways4106]

The levee did fail in the early 1970s. I recall walking onto the old Antioch draw bridge. It was raised so ships could continue along the river. No traffic could pass for a few months, as I recall.

[@publicmushroom67]

You would be correct on that.

You didn't really think they were going to use that much money on infrastructure did you? If you did then you don't really know much about the people you elect. That money went into the pockets of political supporters in the form of pork barrel projects.... Let's not forget the need for hair gel at the capitol, it's an important part of the political process. Everyone knows the handsomest politicians always get elected
