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.

They’ll say Trump damaged the dam just like Bush damaged the levees. Trump wants to wreck CA because he doesn’t like Hispanics as Bush didn’t like blacks.
Look for Shemp Smith to give us the news.

I saw a recent (yesterday or earlier today probably) video of the area immediately below the emergency spillway; it was covered with large boulders, and they were pumping concrete into the spaces between them, essentially grouting them.
Hopefully, that will stabilize the spillway base.

Water breaches spillways all the time on Lake James. That’s why they are designed as part of the dam.

There is a hole under the emergency spillway.
All bets are off. The spillway wall is 1700 ft long and 30 feet high.
The lake would drain about 1 million acre feet in an hour.

I’m in law enforcement. They did their best to train me to be proactive and deal with danger and fear. You do what you have to do and then afterward get the shakes once you start processing what you went through. I understand about normalcy bias. A good chunk of my degree is in behavioral sciences.

Is that a paid subscription site? I get nothing but a black page with headers and sidebar items.
I pushed the “go live” button and it gave me their sign-up page with various subscription plans.

The press conference right now sounds like that spillway failure is not imminent. Trust us!

Yes, the ‘failure’ is a ‘leak’... not the 30’ potential catastrophic wall of water if the ‘leak’ opens up the emergency spillway and the earthen dam breaks thru.
