When did this happen? Last night, they were talking about opening the emergency spillways to relieve the pressure on the main spills?

Were they not able to clear the debris from the emergency overflow lines?

BREAKING: Oroville under immediate evacuation as spillway collapse feared

 

[Darkwind]

This is a live feed....

 

[Care4all]

Holy smokes! They are expecting the auxiliary spillway to collapse of the infrastructure 30 ft, and said 30 ft depth of the entire lake could drain through it....

That would be a MASSIVE flood, don't ya think? 30 ft of the whole lake??

Emergency Evacuations Ordered, Oroville Dam Spillway Near Failure

 

[jillian]

Mandatory? How does that work? Like, marched at gunpoint?

no...like if you don't get your idiot butt out of there, you're going to die because we're not sending anyone to save your ignorant self.

 

[jillian]

Both spillways failed or so the tweets say.

BOTH FAILED? The opening to the mountain side failed too??

ya, i saw film of the massive sinkhole on friday. terrible situation.

Yes, they are now talking about an uncontrolled release. The damn is rated to 300k fps release and the levies are rated at 250k fps. An uncontrolled release may overwhelm the levy system.

 

[Darkwind]

Looks like the live feed stopped. They did say they were going to be forced back to Sacramento due to fading light.

 

[Darkwind]

Oops...there it is. Looks like evacuation shots now.

 

[Darkwind]

Ah..Okay, it isn't live, but a few hours old.....

 

[Darkwind]

 

[basquebromance]

This sounds terrifying. Evacuate now.

Evacuations ordered below Oroville Dam; failure of emergency spillway 'expected'

CA should have allocated money to engineers instead of illegals....just saying.
