“The Oroville Dam is at risk of a sudden collapse of the emergency spillway - still a formidable wall of water (30 feet) to watch out for.”
I hope you’re right. But when I look at the photos of hour close that spillway is to the dam, and the fact the waters could continue to wash away dirt/fill dirt all the way UP TO the dam, I think a massive amount of water could escape around the dam itself and drain 1/2 of that lake downstream.
Oops. I mean of HOW close it is to the dam.
