VIDEO: Meanwhile, at Shasta Dam... maximum water releases, storage at 95% and storms on the way http://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/water-and-drought/article132826359.html #OrovilleDam #CAwx
I believe the posted video does not show maximum release rate. There are spillway gates at the top of the structure that can open and release a veritable deluge.
