Officials say water falling over the Oroville Dam’s emergency spillway has stopped as Oroville lake levels dropped low enough Precarious situation: An aerial of the Oroville Dam reveals the dangerous flooding at the spillway that has left the area in imminent danger of a catastrophic flood A massive hole is causing major erosion around the Oroville Dam in California The hole formed Tuesday and has continued to grow since then The area under threat: About 150 miles northeast of San Francisco, Lake Oroville - one of California's largest man-made lakes - had water levels so high that an emergency spillway was used Saturday for the first time in almost 50 years Safe: Evacuees Jason and his wife Elizabeth Bourquin of Live Oak, settle in for the night with their son Dallas, 5, at the Neighborhood Church of Chico in Chico, California Comfort: Chris Arden (left) keep evacuee George Moody company in the main sanctuary of the Neighborhood Church of Chico in Chico Water from the nearby Feather River floods the Marysville Cemetery on Saturday in Marysville, California Water from the Oroville Dam main spillway at Lake Oroville continued to flow on Sunday and has eroded the roadway just below the spillway that leads to the spillway boat ramp The water falling over the Oroville Dam’s emergency spillway stopped as the lake level dropped on Sunday Releases through the dam's main, heavily damaged spillway increased to 100,000 cubic feet per second from 55,000 cubic feet per second on Sunday to try to drain Lake Oroville before a failure occurs The auxiliary spillway at the Oroville Dam was expected to fail by 5:45pm local time on Sunday, which could have sent an 'uncontrolled release of flood waters from Lake Oroville'. Water continues to gush down the dam's main spillway on Saturday After years of drought Northern California has endured several months of exceptionally wet weather.
