so somone screwed up bad! (1st Mar 09 at 5:51pm UTC)
I got a call to work saturday at a local dam, like not to far from OV. this was on the news. Its a 42" water line that was opened in the wrong sequence. This is from the vaccum formed after the water tried to flow out without a vent open.

I remember as a kid running along top and around those pipes looking for rattlesnakes and lizards of course that was way back before Terrorist scares and shit became off limits I also remember sneaking down to that area in the water just below the dam called felony so we could go fishing but when you were seen the guards at Folsom Prison would run you off People use to say that it was a felony to be down there, hence the name and that the guards could shoot at you....lol scary shit when your in elementary school!!

the trout fishing is bitchin in the restricted area too.... I use to walk down there off of oak ave on the other side of folsom/auburn on the bike trail and then get to the fence go down near the water and climb the banks as far as I could in and get on the far side of the rock so hopefully the guards would see me.... never got caught though....probably a good thing :kranker:
