Oroville? Isn’t that the dam they almost lost a couple of years ago? The one that tore up the spillway and emergency spillway?
1 + billion spent in repairs, yes, that is the same town. The town itself is not in present danger, it is the areas above Lake Oroville, namely Berry Creek and surrounding environs. They are being evacuated now because it is very likely that within the next few hours, a wind event will take place that will burn it to ash.
Hopefully everyone will actually evacuate in time and not get caught on roads which are far too small to handle that much traffic.
23 identified dead so far, possibly hundreds actually lost.
Yep, that’s the place.
Yep - they evacuated the town then too.
If Oroville gets over-run with frogs next year, they might want to think about changing whatever they are doing down there.
