I've been all over the US doing disaster relief work, and this is just the kind of local info you hunger for. But you never see this much efficient objectivity and direct transparency. And your camerawork's really good, really good. So thank you and keep on.
Exactly!! I hope Juan's work starts a trend! Social media and engaged citizens -- a perfect combination to fill this gap. Juan Browne should win the The People's Choice Pulitzer!
Thanks again Juan. Your videos set the standard for Excellence in News Reporting.
It was sweet to see the success of the Engineers that have their feet on the ground.
Well done.
+ M P.L - Yes! He sets the standard for Excellence in news reporting. Perhaps if MSM was this good, I might be temped to tune in to them again. Love the work Juan is doing.
M P.Leo..
:-P Good one. I am so glad that I found his videos and seriously cleared my subs to many other sites. Happy Easter Juan and family. Loved seeing the kids run wild through the flowers too.:-)
Juan sets a standard that's going to be hard to match.......I get the wrong channel some times and watch some of the other reports. About the only thing I haven't seen rising from the reservoir is Godzilla.
I'm sorry but I have to ask... where can I find the video of Godzilla rising from the Oroville reservoir that sounds awesome! :D
The dam is safe. The drought is broken for the moment. Sighs of relief. The desert blooms. Beautiful purple larkspurs at the end.
Mr. Browne, another fine post, and those wild flowers in the desert are amazing, thanks for bringing some joy to life. You sir, are a Patriot, and a fine dad, keep up the good work my friend.
Been following this entire saga from England and Juan is such a consummate professional - informative, articulate, passionate and enthusiastic. Makes all the leading TV news broadcasters look tired, bored and totally disinterested. A breath of fresh air in a stale, claustrophobic and very troubled world.
The desert is amazing when you add water!
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name,
Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain...
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead.
Thanks again for your reports. Thanks also to your family for sharing you with the world. :D
I think a lot of people, like you, have grown fond of the new water feature. And it's thanks to you that we know enough facts about it to enjoy it.
Great images of the wildflowers as the wrap up. Give a feel for what the rain can also do!
Juan, as usual we all appreciate your information and of course sharing the munchkins and their fun is a super bonus!!! Thank you from a Chico native who happens to be hanging out in KCOS (for the last 14 years lol)
Thanks blancolirio for the 'gushing' video. Your dialogue along with your video synchronization with the DWR of the Oroville spillway are to be commended. Also, your documentary presentation and commentary deserves attention too. The bonus family footage is nice as well.
thanks for the update and streaming that video from the DWR. enjoy yosemite! my mom used to take us up there when we were just a touch older than your kids. back then it took twice as long to get up there cuz the roads were not what they are today. your kids are beautiful! makes me look forward to being a grandma.
tripledude!!......Go Juan, your the best!!........
Encouraging to see what the Engineers + boots on the ground did that was deemed impossible. Kudos to all!!.............
CA wild-flowers in massive bloom..Lupine, Golden Poppies & Blooms of Wild Chaparral!!..Enjoying All !!............
Beautiful wildflowers.
Thank You.
Thank you for all you do to keep us posted! Enjoy your family and beautiful vacation! God bless you and yours!
And a happy Easter to you, Juan.
Today I find myself a year later watching this stuff again :) Still Fascinating. Juan good job a year later xx
geoff toner Thanks Geoff!
Thank you Juan for these updates on the nation tallest dam.
Sir, your reports, with good tone and attitude, are impressive. My wife even let's me forward them to her. And that's sayin' something!
With respect,
Michael.
You've become a daily habit on a daily basis. Outstanding vids and commentary. Keep it up Juan.
Wow, more than a whole year we've been watching you watching this! Delightful!
Hey Juan, I've been enjoying your videos ever since I stumbled across your videos of the Oroville spillway disaster. Took a look back at some of your earlier work and saw the video of your flight in the 777 - fun to watch and hear from a pilot who loves flying so much!!
Thanks for being a great specialty news channel and being quite objective throughout the whole Oroville situation.
Great report, even when you're on family vacation.
Gorgeous wildflowers field.
We agree with you Juan. That is a very beautiful natural spillway/waterfall.
Good job Juan. You've got that gift of getting the pertinent facts out in a way that's easily understood.
Thanks for your regular updates and have a great Easter at Yosemite. 18 years ago I took my family from Sydney and we explored the Sierras and finished with a week at Yosemite. We shared a Christmas dinner with a friendly family from San Francisco at the Lodge. Wonderful.
Mr. Brown i watch every update, and have been telling the folks that use the Aqueduct to follow as well. Im a well driller and the folks down south were very interested to hear what you had to say! Keep it up sir!
Thanks Scott. Driving along the Aqueduct now and appreciating its significance... future video series???...
Absolutely, most folks dont know that water is from lake Oroville and the Feather river water shed. Me being a Water Well driller i follow where the allotments will be short so i have perty good idea where the work will be.
The natural spillway has held much better than I thought it would. I predicted the entire remaining lower spillway and triangle of earth would get eroded away.... Glad I was wrong. Fred & Wilma's hometown has held up well. 😁
I join in congratulating Juan on an extreamly well done series of reports. Just the facts Mam!!!
Juan - thankyou so I much for your coverage of the Oroville Dam situation. Apart from your photographic sensibilities, I very much appreciate (from a science background, and having spent a lot time with engineers) your detailed coverage of events. I am an Australian, living in New Zealand, my ids having grown up in Oroville, my ex-wife being in the evacuation zone early last year. Love your sensible and logical approach to describing what is happening. THANKYOU
I just love your videos and your personal touches. Thank you :)
Gotta love this one, Juan! Covering the dam news when you've not even there! 8-)
Hope you're enjoying Jellystone, and say hello to Yogi and Boo-boo if you see them!
thanks for all your hard work through all the oroville dam situations
thanks for the excellent coverage you're doing on this.
Beautiful family Sir Juan! God bless, safe journeys and don't forget to pack lots of extra hugs and love. Peace. Amen.
Daniel is right...camera work is fabulous! Everyday I check to see if Juan Brown posted anything new.
Juan, thank you again for the great up dates on Oroville!! Have a great family vacation and I look forward to more of your video's and some great shots of yellowstone.
Hi Juan, just love your videos! so informative and well done.....keep them coming!!!
Thank you for your updates - beautiful footage at the end with the flowers, looks amazing!
Excellent reporting and a beautiful family. Thanks Juan. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for keeping us updated.....well done!
Thx for the update, Juan. Hope the spillways (both manmade & natural) hold! Loved the video's ending...such a joy to see your family having fun. Enjoy Yosemite - safe journeys!
Thanks for keeping us updated...even while on vacation!
Beautiful. Thankyou. Excellent thorough and clear info, with some true art .
Aren't the flower blooms of the Carrizo National Monument absolutely beautiful this time of year? Our local TV stations have been covering their gradual bloom out over the past few weeks.
As many have said, you do fantastic documentation of the situation.
Thank you.
Juan outstanding News coverage! and extra footage video of kids was precious, Thank you for sharing your awesome photography....
+ Wyld Child - Ditto!
Super Juan..!! Enjoy your trip into Yosemite! That flower field at Carrizo is fantastic.! Check out the record blooms down in Death Valley. It is EPIC.
When I wanted the real news on this you really covered it great.'I've been following you through the whole process and learned a lot abut the numbers. thank you for that!I loved the end of this video, it reminded me of the closing segment on the CBS show "Sunday Morning".
Wonderful. Thanks Juan and family!
Juan, I enjoy all of your videos. keep them coming for all of your travels and adventures. Ignore the haters. They are like Mikie, they hate everything. Best to you and your family on this special weekend.
Beautiful flowers and cute kids. Thank you for sharing your amazing video
Great coverage Juan!
Nice pictures Juan, efficient update again.
73's from a Dutch Ham-operator.
Good report, thanks Juan great job
Thanks for the update Juan.
Thanks for the flower field ending. Gorgeous!
Beautiful outro. Thanks Juan and fam. 😎👍👌
Nice work once again Juan! Lots of air traffic over head today.
Thanks Juan
Nothing else quite like the beauty of California!
Hey Juan, it would be a great public service to document the Berkeley Mystery Walls, aka East Bay Walls from the air. They're ancient drystone walls that traverse the hills of the East Bay area. Nobody knows anything about who built them or why. They don't have any obvious purpose and predate any California culture known to build in stone. Now during the superbloom would be an excellent time to explore them. It would be informative for someone to map them out, see how extensive they are and where they go.
Yeah, it's funny how when you follow nature, things work really well. :) Great vid - thank you! Best wishes for the holidays to you and your beautiful family!
Juan, you have somehow managed to take the scary and mysterious and turn it into the familiar and familia...Gracias, Senor
I like your style. most of the rest of the vblogs i've seen are trying to find a conspiracy. your just dealing with the straight facts. that's a refreshing change, Thank you.
Beautiful! Hope you guys have a happy Easter ( :
The kids falling at the end was the best part. LOL
Very nice; thanks for your work.
Thank you sir, I enjoy your very informative and entertaining video's.
Beautiful ending, that's for the update. Enjoy the vacation!
I enjoyed your video. It was very helpful. Thank you!
JUAN, Another GR8 update video from the MASTER! LOVED the children running though the super-bloom field. PLEASE if possible produce a 100% NATURE video from your travels for your dedicated viewers. Stay safe out there. Dan, Catskill Mountains
DM will do!
thx Jaun you give best report
Thanks for doing this Juan. You can add me to the list of viewers who started watching your channel to see what was going on El Norte, but will stick around to watch some of your other vids. I'm a dual sport rider in socal and like watching your riding vids too.
yeah!
great work love the flowers never seen so many in cali ever
You have such an amazing life......it's nice to get out of the city!
I'll say it again the best source of news
Explanation of headcutting erosion. Water poured slowly from a cup dribbles down the side. Tip the cup up sharply and only a drop or two runs down the side. Get those gates open quickly and overshoot the lip of the damaged concrete. Less headcutting.
Excellent analogy
Why didn't they place more shotcrete....? seems like some more shotcrete anchored to the slope would have helped a lot... looks like the water is splashing back under the damaged spillway... hope that soft rock holds up..
John. The operative word there is "anchored". They needed the base to dry out as much as possible. The shotcrete is simply to keep water from soaking into the clay and having it slide down. There is not structural strength to it.
I agree +Bob Smoth it's basically a barrier between the rushing water and the loose rock and soil... if water get behind it then it's not going to work.. However it's quite common to use shotcrete for retaining walls.. when this is done it needs to have a rebar grid and to be anchored against the hillside / slope by rock bolts and soil nails... s3-production.bobvila.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/shotcrete-retaining-wall1.jpg
thanks for posting this
Beautiful ending. Thanks
Ive always loved the word "plunge" Its so verby.
Thanks Juan!
Absolutely amazing footage. Hooray for drones!
Juan Browne is a smart guy with great reporting. Why does anyone give him a thumbs down?
Barry Allen Takes some nerve to give a thumbs dn, those viewers are in over their heads, or underwater on this. : )
LOL Trees
Shouldnt high five yourself! Trees! I cant help it.
It is pretty. Thanks Juan!
Nice pictures! Enjoy the waterfalls is Yosemite!
Beautiful wildflowers... have a great vacation
I love watching your reports. You're so insightful, smart, and educational in everything you do. God gave you a gift, my friend,,,,it may have took this long for it to come from within but,,,,I'd say you're off to a great and very promising future on UA-cam.😉👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Thank you for everything and may God keep blessing you and your beautiful family. Apologies for the run-on sentences. Take care and good night.
that canyon IS aesthetically pleasing... :)
Thanks, Very Nice, we appreciate your efforts. Bob
When 35,000 CFS outflow down the damaged spillway began at 10am on 04/14/2017 the lake elevation was an even 866.00 feet. Inflow was 31284 and rainfall total was 46.38 inches.
72 hours later, three days on 04/17/2017 at 10am:
- Lake elevation is 862.81, down 3.19 feet, an average of 1.063 ft per 24 hours.
- Average inflows for that period is 27,575.5 CFS - 35,000 CFS outflows gives a net outflow from reservoir of only 7,724.5 CFS.
- New rainfall of .77 inches during same period
Effective outflow of approximately 8,000 CFS appears to drop the lake elevation by one foot per 24 hour period.
At the above effective outflow rate, it will take nearly a month to drop the lake elevation to 835 feet.
One could surmise that increasing the outflow by 8,000 CFS to 43,000 CFS could reduce the time to drop the lake to the magic 835 foot elevation by 15 days or more.
John Rayl yep...and the rains keep coming! dryer weather soon...
Interesting bids. Kiewit is a good outfit. Here in TN they built a large power plant below budget and ahead of schedule a few years ago.
Great footage at the end.
As always, nice job narrating the vids you can find, drawing attention to what's important and why.
But then, you got to the Carrizo Plain from Monterey? One of my faves! The San Andreas Fault sculpts the east side of that valley from end-to-end.
I was there in early March so I missed the bloom, but heading west to Santa Maria through the Cuyama high meadows is always a pleasure. I'll bet you know the Radisson at the airport and the Hitching Post or maybe Jockos.
Looks like it works fine. Congrats.
Just the facts Juan, just the facts. Great job.
wow - DWR got great footage this time
