The dam itself is apparently holding, but the Emergency Spillway which is being used for the first time in the 50 year history of the dam is eroding away quickly and expected to fail. Oroville is below the dam.
Residents have been told to evacuate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

OMG! That is just horrific. I hope everyone is able to get out and be safe. How does our infrastructure get to this point in CA? Aside from all of the residents, I particularly hope Harvey and Al do OK in this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
