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) |

If you look st the picture I posted Sunday vs what's up today on the news. You will notice it's not overflowing outside the spillway anymore. You can see it (where the water was). Clearly. That's what concerned me most.

That's what concerned me most. When we were camping there in September (you can actually see the campground in your pic) you would not have been able to see those boats in your picture. The water level was so low (a good 300 feet down) that the boats would not have shown from that angle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |
