Oroville dam spillway

[happywife]

I know there are several posters in this area, is everyone safe? We have an office in Yuba City and our staff are evacuating.

Stay safe everyone!!!

I'm evacuated. It has been a mess all week here.
They just announced that the water stopped going over the emergency spillway, no I think crisis has been averted.

But 130,000 people have been evacuated, so it's a mess here .

Were you able to return home? Our Yuba City staff have not returned yet.

Jillaroo, are you/family/pets all OK? Do you need anything? I live in one of the shelter areas (foothills) so if I can help or if you need anything, let me know.

No. The mandatory evacuation is in effect until 4pm. There is a press conference at noon, so we may know more info then. there is a storm coming that is expected to bring a lot of rain, so rumors on Facebook say the evacuation might be in effect for a few days.

I am good. Got the dogs and my daughter and went to my moms in a safe zone. Thank you though!

My cousin's H's family are all there. As far as I've heard they're all ok.

I watched the news conferences, seems like there isn't a time that the evacuation is going to be lifted, is that correct?  I'm so sorry for everyone dealing with this!

That is correct. The initial evacuation went until 4pm, but it wasn't lifted and is still in effect.
