The internet strikes again.
This is a selection of the reviews given to Oroville Dam in recent days. I was looking at Google maps to see exactly where the dam is located (I have family in CA), and found these reviews. Some of them are gems!

I found some good images of the dam and spillways that helped make sense out of the whole thing.

This is what I saw just a few minutes ago. It was to be a live shot and there seems to be water going off the main spillway to the south and eroding taking place.

It’s going to have to pick up its game if it wants to continue being a dam.

Here is what that spillway looks like as of today. I was watching one of those flaky dam cams this morning and all of a sudden it looked like a bomb went off. It had to be a big portion of that spillway failing.

If I lived downstream of that, I’d have been done packing up my most treasured possessions and finding somewhere to wait it out.

I have a beef with that graphic circulating... it places the responsibility for the failure with federal regulators by misrepresenting the facts. The federal regulators did NOT reject improvements to the eSpillway, the refused to require the state to do so as a condition of re-licensing. The federal regulator does did not prevent the CA DWR from making improvements or from performing other necessary improvements, repairs, and maintenance. They left CA to prioritize infrastructure spending as they saw fit, letting CA prioritizing spending at the Oroville damn as they saw fit, given other spending priorities... CA just chose unwisely.

1 star. Dam failure would result in children and minorities being hardest hit.

Captain Obvious tells me that most of the water is now going out the side of the spillway.
I don't think that's good.
