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) |

Grateful that the evacuation order was given. Hopeful that tragedy is averted. Praying for my Cali peeps.
If they should need anything, can someone local help organize a way to raise funds or get needed supplies their way? |

Great thought. If help is needed, please post what we can do. I only know Harvey, and he's one of the special folk.
