So far its holding. Thats why the evacuation is in place because there is uncertainty. Already damage and stretch to its limit and more rain on the way. Now lets give you the very latest. The imminent threat of a breach in the spillway, a wall has diminished considerably. No water is flowing over the emergency spillway right now. Lake levels continue to fall. The goal is to lower the lake level by 50 feet. All right. All of the States National guard is an alert ready to assist if need be. Lets show you a map of the 11 communities down stream, all under Evacuation Orders right now. This is the image that started the alarm. Water rushing over a giant gaping hole. Now the race to reroute the water causing bigger problems. The damage and erosion so severe, emergency officials feared the worst. If the

Lake oroville is a few feet below the spillway eroding when the water topped it yesterdays. 37,000 cubic feet of water running in the lake it is 1063 feet a second out of thelake. Our objective is to lower the lake level by fifty feet to prepare for future inflow of water due to storms and precipitation. Now this may take awhile because officials must monitor for erosion or any other change to spell trouble. Repairs to stabilize the situation could take awhile as officials decide exactly how to do it.

Not a complete ghost town but is one that is hard to find something if you need gas or something, you you would have to take a look. For the people not here there situation is wait, worry and wonder and see something happen. The the evacuation is in effect. The decision to release the evacuation and allow people to return to the area is equally difficult decision to make. The water has been released at one hundred cubic feet per second. Lake oroville dam was beneath the spillway since yesterday and since the water is still running in the lake, the net change is only 63,000 cubic feet per second going out of the lake. Our objective is to lower the lake level by fifty feet in order to prepare for future inflow of water due to storms and precipitation. Officials must continue to monitor for erosion or any other change to spell trouble. Repairs could take awhile as officials deci

What are you looking at . The tracy drive. And . And we do have some slow traffic. Remember there is no Ace Train Service and that is going to be an issue. More people who would rely on ace train.
