#MyCalifornia: Seven Oaks Dam At High Water

Thanks, I am very fortunate :)

Yes, this dam can still hold back more water, it is built to prevent 100-year flood events that otherwise would wipe out large areas of Riverside and Orange County. I remember a big one in the eighties that devastated homes along the river. Now everyone is safe :) Cheers!

It was built to contain a 350 year flood event. :)

That's amazing!
