Whiskeytown Lake's Glory Hole Overflows!!!

This is a fairly rare event, and water flows down the Glory Hole only once every five years or so. Lately California has been in a drought, (more Southern California than Northern) but both Shasta Lake and Whiskey town Lake filled up this year! Water does not flow into the spillway until the lake level exceeds 1,211 feet. The Glory Hole is an overflow drain designed to keep the lake level from rising so high that it spills over the top of the nearby dam. Water going through the Glory Hole is routed under the dam to an outlet on the other side, where it flows into Clear Creek. If you would like some History on JFK's speech and dedication, here is the video: https://youtu.be/M8k77uVdtbs For some History on the Largest Glory Hole/ Spillway in the world. This website below shows several pictures and gives a brief history of Lake Berryessa's glory hole/spillway: http://www.fogonazos.es/2007/02/largest-drain-hole-ever.html As always thank you for watching and I hope you like my video!
