We currently have family staying with friends at the base of the Sutter Buttes but we have decided we should probably bug out to even higher grounds or to an area not likely to be affected.
Right now we have narrowed it down to Clear Lake and Woodland.
Woodland is closer and its Fairgrounds are open.
We don't know what's available in Clear Lake or any of the communities around it.
Hotels and motels are booked up everywhere we've looked so far.
Personally, I can sleep in my truck with our 3 dogs.
My wife, however, needs a bed to sleep in. She is battling fibromyalgia and even on a good day she wakes up to excruciating pain.
Does anyone have family or friends we might be able to stay with (or at least my wife) for a few days?
We are housebroken and I am able-bodied with handyman skills.
We are willing to pay and work for our keep.
My workplace has shut down for the week. It sits right at the base of the Feather River so it will likely be flooded should the water reach Yuba City. Money will be tight but we can tap into our retirement savings if necessary until I get back to work or find work as the case may be.
Feel free to FReepmail me and I will give you my email address and cell phone number. I will keep any and all correspondence confidential.
Thank you for your prayers and whatever assistance you may be able to provide whether it be a place to stay or advice on other options we might have or your personal experience in a situation like this.
I am normally a pretty clear thinker but right now, my brain is unable to focus.
Please pray for wisdom and clearheadedness.
We have total faith in God and we give Him the praise and glory in advance for His provision in this season of our lives.
God bless you all.

Praying fervently. 4 states away so that’s what I can do. I pray all your family, friends and co-workers survive and WITH that retirement savings intact.

Prayers for you and all. I wish I knew of people near your are or even in CA. Praying FRs in CA will have ideas for you, your wife and all.

Thank you. We have family in Stockton, Bakersfield and Tustin. Also in Phoenix if it comes to that.

Sorry, I have no way to help, but I will pray for you and your family and friends that are affected.
In fact someone else raised the Oroville situation as a prayer request in Sunday School on Sunday.

Prayers for you and your wife, brother. Too far away to offer shelter, but I have asked the Lord for His blessings and comfort for you, and for the others like you who are facing this time of trial.

Thank you. Praying is the BEST way to help. God said where 2 or 3 come together, it will be done.
It's only been a few minutes since I posted this thread and more than a dozen or so have already come together.
Thank you all.

Take a look at the latest reports and video. They may give you some comfort. The auxiliary spillway is no longer passing water as the lake has dropped below its level. It will not collapse under current conditions as it is a hillside that was being eroded by the flowing water. The next danger point is if there is a new storm and significant inflow to the reservoir on Thursday or later.

Thank you so much, my FRiend.
I am not the type to ask for help. I am deeply humbled by the outpouring of concern we've received.
