Controlled flow in the main spillway has been nearly doubled to 100,000 CFS.

Roads are like a parking lot advising people to take route south, or even southeast to get out of Dodge.

Shows massive erosion.

Plus they are saying the spillway itself will fail; evac orders issued

Whoa. That bridge could be washed out. Hope there’s time to get everyone out.

Why was this dam not maintained? The people of this area have a right to go after the state. While they spent money supporting people from other countries these good, hard working Californians were left on their own

If the spillway goes, they are going to lose the whole town.

As the following choppercam photo shows, thousands of people are scrambling to evacuate the downstream areas.

I’m watching the water change color as the extra water erodes the river banks.

This has a horrible Katrina-like feel to it. Not the deaths, but the political games that caused them between Blank-o and W.

Drudge needs to re-prioritize his home page...the dam is a MUCH BIGGER story than that singer and her dress.
