188,000 people were evacuated from the towns surrounding Northern California's Oroville Dam, after a serious flooding threat caused by the overflow of Lake Oroville. The evacuation was ordered Sunday after a massive hole was discovered in an emergency spillway -- which catches excess water when Lake Oroville's water level rises to overflow the dam -- threatening communities downstream. Some people had just a few minutes to prepare to evacuate, in what one Oroville resident described as "pure chaos."
This sucks to hear; however, it's the way it is. People being forced out of their homes isn't the best thing ever. in this case I'm glad to hear that every one is doing well and that the flooding is under control. people are expected to return to their homes shortly. Shelters were opened up for the citizens.
