That's exactly when I found Juan Brown. Something about his delivery of what was happening at the time caught my attention. Always good to tune into Blancoliro once in a while.
Always enjoy a Lake Oroville update as it's what brought me to your channel in the first place. A gentle reminder about you doing a video about the dam removals along the Klamath river. :)
Yes! I have lived in Paradise and Oroville for 8 years. I have a particular island that I watch. It is only about 3-5 feet above the water line. The 2 trees at the crest have water lapping at their trunks. I love hearing the spillway at night!
Juan, you did such an outstanding job of reporting throughout the Oroville repair work, that this feels like visiting an old friend. Happy to see it’s in such good shape, now. Thank you!
Great to see the water situation is much better this year, pretty much all around Cal. Always nice to see these aerial shots of Oroville Dam working full steam and in perfect shape. Get well, Juan! Regards from Toulouse, France - birthplace to most Airbus jetliners and to… myself !!
o my 2017, when i first happened upon your channel, your brilliant coverage of Oroville, time flys by jaun, thank you so much for your continuing,brilliant, enthusiastic work. kind regards, dave. Uk.
❤ your hard work Juan! My father grew up in Arroyo Grande CA and he always worries about the water levels in his home State. He loves the water reporting 😊
I’m an Aussie and have driven to Sedona from LA 3 times, and all the way down to Tombstone, as I love the desert and also the Native American Cliff dwellings and those amazing Cacti, those red rocks are breathtaking, I still remember the first time driving over a rise and suddenly they appeared out of nowhere, it must have been stunning in a biplane, let alone being in a biplane.
Cool spring! Snow in the mountains outside San Diego a month ago, and temperatures the same in Seattle and the Imperial valley. I couldn’t believe how cold SoCal was!
Wow getting that damn in shape was paramount and to see it doing what it was designed to do after what it went through is a witness to a lot of hard work. Thank you Juan for being instrumental in reporting the story of ORD.
Really enjoy your local information about water levels and events, as much as your information and analysis on aviation incidents. Good work Juan. Please keep on.
Thanks for keeping us informed of Lake Orville, I live in Vacaville and find your channel my go-to for all of our reservoir water supplys. Please keep up the good work.
I like all your videos because it helps the RU-vid algorithms. I liked this one because you didn't have to report an aviation fatality. It is when an aviation fatality happens that l feel that it is sad if it turns out to be a poor pilot decision. The best part is that you are able to point out what should be done if you find out what could be done if the pilot finds that they are in the same in flight conditions. I wish that there was a way that pilots could say that your words helped them.
You were reading my mind Juan.... I was wondering what Shasta and Oroville dam's / lakes looked like now. Poof ! There's Juan with an update! Thanks...
Thanks to the Efforts of this Gentleman everyone can see the After Effects from the Disaster that was many years ago & which I read about here in Australia through an Engineers Forum. Really Well Documented with the Video taken by Same Gentleman. I hope this will help to Improve a great deal the Communities Concerns. On the Infrastructure itself it seems a good Deal of Planning went into this Phase & I hope it is One of Sustainability into the Future. Thanks For This. Regards.
Juan can you brief us on how Calfire uses the local precipitation and reservoir data to help manage wildfire season. I know they brief off it. Maybe a behind the scene view. Thx
Just saw a textbook wheels up landing following landing gear failure in a twin engine, landed successfully and didn’t get the props dirty, a few circles for 4 hours at Newcastle, NSW, Australia.
England. I was with you from the start of the Oroville Dam 'leak'. I did have a go at your media and felt sorry for the Sheriff. Poor bu**er couldn't win. Anyway, I still pop in when Oroville is on. There was a young reporter from Fox4 who I felt so sorry for, she spent hours waiting to get a story in the cold. I emailed them saying how dedicated she was. They copied it and pinned it to their notice boards. Just to prove, not all 'Limey's' shoot poor colonists (not this week anyway).
Thank you for the work that you do. On a different topic, I was working on my family history today and found a family of 3rd cousins I never knew. The entire family of four perished in a California crash in 2000. See: Alaska Airlines Flight 261,an Alaska Airlines flight of a McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series aircraft that crashed into the Pacific Ocean on January 31, 2000, roughly 2.7 miles (4.3 km; 2.3 nmi) north of Anacapa Island, California, following a catastrophic loss of pitch control, killing all 88 on board: two pilots, three flight attendants, and 83 passengers. For their efforts to save the plane, both pilots were posthumously awarded the Air Line Pilots Association Gold Medal for Heroism. I only learned of this accident and its effects on this day. Perhaps you have an opinion on the NTSB conclusions. Very sad tragedy. Again, thank you for the very professional work that you do.
Thanks for highlighting the dates on local air show events, I'm always wondering when those are. I'll have to drag my son to Nevada County Airport next week.
Always good to see the big lakes recovering from those drought years. Do you have any plans of going down to Central California? Curious as to whether Lake Tulare has dried up. I have a friend who lives in Porterville, but he said he cannot access the private land from the ground.
That's fantastic news, I just hope that the water isn't squandered like it has been in the past. This is a life sustaining issue, not to be used as a financial resource.
It ain't over till its over. Colorado is still recording new snowfalls. If the Sierras' snow melts turn loose, it could get shaky. Thanks Juan. Good work all the way across.
Florida seemed to hit watch setting season early. If it just started to rain, its 4:00 pm. If it just stopped, it's 4:15 pm. And if its 3:00 pm and you tell a tourist that in an hour it's going to rain, he looks up. Like he thinks you need cloud cover or something.😂
