Misc Oroville Dam Spillway Emergency

[DaculaWeather]

Didn't know if anyone saw this. I'd say they have a pretty big problem.
"The situation surrounding the damaged spillway at Oroville Dam has escalated into a crisis, with state water managers hoping they can dump enough water down the badly compromised structure to prevent the state’s second-largest reservoir from pouring over an emergency release point that has never been used before."

Been following this for the last few days, and not they now predict the dam to fail, such a crazy situation over there how they have gone from a severe drought to a flooded lake.
Here is a local news station on the story.
