The emergency spillway is expected to completely fail within a matter of minutes. Residents of low lying areas of Oroville and areas south are being asked to evacuate NOW.

This is a really scary situation. I only heard about it now. I hope everyone in the area makes it out safely.

I hope all up in that area will be allright. Driving around here locally in my area I'm seeing alot of fast moving water flowing across some vineyards. We're not sure where it's all coming from. The river is way off and did no spill over. Joe you know our area Woodbridge rd,Acampo rd all closed to flooding. Hope your ok there. Reminds of 86 flood in a,way

hopefully too much damage does not occur and the people in the surrounding towns do not suffer too much (not at all would be best)...this is kind of scary. Seems all this excess water would also fill up the Afterbay where the Spring KILO's are going to be held.............

This is on National News............heard about it on CBS news back here in DC area! Hope everyone gets through it ok.
