If they tell me to evacuate again, I will.
In the evacuation notice, they were crystal clear to say there was a small but definitive chance that the 30-foot tall emergency spillway could collapse. NOBODY stated the dam was collapsing in an hour. That is a large exaggeration.
If the lake resumes spillover level and overtops the emergency spillway, the real concern for a possibility of failure will return, and evacuations with it.
The Oroville Sheriff is not lacking in credibility. He explained everything before the fact, and explained it in better detail after the fact.
Anybody who fails to obey a mandatory evacuation order should the emergency spillway become active again with over-topping water, they are just plain foolish and gambling with their life and their families lives.
In any case, stay safe.
Praying for all you folks near the dam. There are good people out there in Butte county and surroundings...turns my stomach to see some of the vile posts out there on Facebook. Stay safe.
