In case you have all been away from the national news, there is a flood
emergency in the town of
Oroville, California ongoing as of Sunday night.
39°31'38.0"N 121°31'48.2"W
The video below was from Sunday afternoon showing the emergency spillway
being
breached.

This water is going to continue flowing thru the breach all night and for
several days, and eventually
the erosion could cause a giant hole, which might lead to a bigger hole,
which might cause
the entire emergency spillway to flow downstream. It looks like a
potential disaster unfolding.
Even if that doesn't happen, they are going to have a mess there around the
spillway for the next few weeks
or months, or maybe even until a new emergency spillway could be built.
