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) |

Kelty, really, blaming Howard Jarvis? Weed must be legal where you live. Remember, "moderation".
On to the facts. My niece evacuated from her home in Oroville yesterday. Thank god because the area is complete gridlock today. She went to stay with my inlaws in Yuba City which is now under voluntary evacuation. Apparently everything along the Feather River is in danger. |

Hitting close to home here too...my cousin's family of six lives in Gridley - just south of Oroville - they have evacuated to my aunt/uncles in Grass Valley. It took several hours to make a trip that usually would take 35 minutes. Hoping for the best!
