"Officials are anticipating a failure of the Auxiliary Spillway at Oroville Dam within the next 60 minutes (5:45 p.m.)," the California Department of Water Resources said on Facebook.
The Yuba County Office of Emergency Services said on Facebook an evacuation has been for "all Yuba County on the valley floor."
The city of Marysville and Yuba County have been ordered to evacuate, the Marysville Police Department tweeted.

Go ahead and ask why people choose to live in a
flood area. While you are at it ask why people choose
to reside in tornado or hurricane or forest fire or
earthquake or volcano or landslide or heavy drought areas.
Of course the real tragedy would be if this disaster forced them to divert funds from Jerry Brown's high-speed train.

Traffic looked to be at a standstill.
Prayers to all there.
Brown and Holder have no doubt been gaming this to hit Trump the way Blank-o and Landrieu and Kanye West hit W after Katrina. Screw the residents, there’s a crisis to use politically.
We’re praying with you...
Incompetent morons running CA. May they be sued to oblivion.
Reagan was governor of California when this dam was built. He dedicated it when it opened.
Yeah - I thought the same thing as I was listening to the clueless bureaucrats -> they had no idea whether the thing was going to totally fail once it partially failed ... and they were using words like 'we don't believe' it's going to totally fail. Oh, gee, OK I think I'll stay in my home based on that.
It's not EXACTLY the end of Atlas Shrugged ... but in quality, if not in extent, it IS EXACTLY the end of Atlas Shrugged.
Yeah, but just think how fast they could have evac’d on a bullet train.
Still, this might be a stellar time to go visit FRiends elsewhere.
I lived near there. Most of if not all of Beale rests in the foothills above Marysville. Beale will be fine.
Jerry Brown owns this one.
Prayers for you and yours. Be as safe as you can.
BTTT
Exactly. They've got to have a big conference call at the national level to get their line of attack straight.
Then they're going to blame it all on Trump. The fake-news MSM is coordinating with them as we speak, I'm sure.
Thanks enlightened1

If that concrete dam that composes the spillway (1700ft long) has a hole under it, and it does, that lake will drop 30 feet in 2 hours...while cutting the mountain in half.
You need to get out now!
