CNN released at article that gave an overview of the evacuations and problems in California concerning the Oroville Dam. Emanuella Grinberg, Eliott C. McLaughlin and Paul Vercammen wrote the article which could case in some slight variation of evidence but for the most part it was a very factual article that was written souls to inform the readers about the situation and everything thats been going on with the Dam. A massive hole was discovered in one of the emergency spill ways which is causing excess water to enter lake Oroville threatening the communities downstream. Before reading this I knew very little information about the evacuations I just briefly heard of the evacuations happening. 188,000 residents of the towns surrounding the Oroville Dam were rushed out under a mandatory evacuation order. Many of the people that evacuated described the experience as being chaotic. I couldn't imagine having to be apart of the evacuation, seeing all the stores empty, all the gas pumps with yellow tape on them, all the police men on every corner. I sympathize with the residents the situation seems very chaotic and overwhelming.

This is why people need to take environmental situations more seriously.
