Designed to disrupt President Donald Trump and the gop. And next the dramatic images. As bay area reservoirs deal with having too much water. Rising reservoirs causing some spectacular scenes around the bay area. Tonight water managers around the state are doing what they can. To keep things under control. Its hard to believe we were in a drought not too long ago. Kron4s Spencer Blake checked out Anderson Lake today where an enormous amount of water is being released. That powerful sound. Is the roar of massive amounts of water. Flowing from this relatively small pipe aevery seconda. Its unbelievable. A lot of water. Lot of water coming out of there. Boy, this last storm put a lot of water in the reservoir. Right now the Anderson Reservoir is at 93 percent capacity well over regulators safety limit of 68 percent. There are seismic concerns on the 60yearold dam that mean the Water District is trying to get as much water out as it physically can. While its pretty impressive to see 416 cubic feet of water per second pass through this outflow, remember the inflows into the reservoir are two thousand feet per second. Thats why the water level is continuing to rise. When next weeks storm rolls around, the Water District thinks the lake will fill to capacity. I love it. I cant wait until it comes over the spillway. Its gorgeous. From the top of the dam, you can see how close the water level is getting to the spillway. Though there arent real flood concerns here now, they could be coming. When and if the water goes over the spillway, we cant control the amount of water thats flowing over, so thats where you see flooding concerns. Even still, the Water District spokesman marty grimes isnt anticipating major issues. Some other reservoirs in the valley, like uvas, are already spilling over. These drought stricken Southern California tourists couldnt believe their eyes at Anderson Lake. It looks like a lot of wasted water going down the creek, but obviously theres a purpose as to why theyre releasing the water. As for those seismic concerns, remember it would take a amassive earthquake, on one specific fault line, during the time the reservoir is full. To cause a water catastrophe. Grimes says that is highly unlikely. In morgan hill, Spencer Blake, kron four news. The rains stopped just in time to avert a crisis at that crumbling spillway at Lake Oroville. State water Officials Say they wont have to use an emergency spillway. A move that could have had catastrophic consequences downstream. Water will continue to pour down the concrete spillway. The bottom half is almost completely eroded away. You can see the water turning brown as it flows out of the breach and onto the surrounding hillside. With the water in Lake Oroville just five feet from the top of the dam, officials had been predicting theyd have to use an emergency spillway to the left. Heres how it looks on google earth. It would spill water onto open land, potentially sending a tidal wave of trees and debris into the Feather River below. Today, they said that wont be necessary. Lake oroville is one states the biggest reservoirs. Its currently at 96 percent of capacity. Nearly 150 percent of its historical average at this time of year. Shasta, the biggest in the state, is at 92 percent of capacity, also well above average. Smaller trinity lake nearby, is two thirds full, about average. East of sacramento, folsom lake is three quarters full, 141 percent of normal. And new melones lake, a vital water source for Central Valley farmers, is just half full, still below average, the storms are filling up average, the storms are filling up the reservoirs with rain. But another factor is the unseasonably warm weather that is melting the snow pack. The source of a lot of the states water in the summer months. A Train Derailment in sacramento today. Take a look at this video. More than a dozen of cars from a freight train. Slipped off the tracks and ended up submerged in the consumnes river. None of the three workers onboard was injured. Tonight we learned, the train cars were carrying food products. People are being asked to avoid the area. Police in South Los Angeles were led on a wild chase when a shooting suspect jumped in his car. And took off down the 110 freeway. Helicopter footage shows how erratic the suspect was driving. He weaved in and out of cars on the freeway. Hitting several of them. Police came to the rescue of a women whos car was overturned. They say the suspect even fired rounds at the officers during the chase. But once his car could no longer drive. He surrendered. A friendly reminder.
