It likely looks a bit worse now because that's what 50k cfs had done before the picture was taken - they've been sending 100k cfs down that chute in the past 24 hours to rapidly empty the reservoir. But, that is not the main worry with the dam now, the worry is that water has undercut the auxiliary spillway that might collapse, sending ~ 30ft tall body of water down the river without any control if that happens.For a while I thought that ^^ was a photoshop until I heard about the dam issues on the news
Here is an image of that with a little bit more context in it:
Here are the pics I was looking for:
^ holy isht, they totally dodged the bullet, for now

10:20 a.m.: Water is flowing out of Lake Oroville's main spillway fast enough to cause lake levels to drop by up to 30 feet before the next storm Wednesday night.
OES spokesman Scott McLean said the lake level is continuing to inch downtown “four inches an hour, about eight feet a day.”
Officials hope that will be enough. Lake Oroville can fill fast during a big storm. During storms from Monday of last week through Friday, lake levels increased by 50 feet.
.........
At current pace, the lake will fall to about 400,000 acre-feet below its emergency spillway by Thursday morning. To get the lake back to the levels normally mandated for flood control, it would need to fall by about 700,000 acre-feet.

On the bright side...if Yuba City, Marysville, Linda and Olivehurst are washed downstream, its no big loss. Start all over again...
Or is that cold and unfeeling?

Why dont they just drill a hole straight through the earth at an angle that takes the water passed the core and into some large ocean from the bottom?

All that pollution in china comes from wok smoke.

Perhaps, but I am inclined to believe this is the next step in enduro kits. I mean, how bad ass would you be if you had brush guards *and* gauntlets?

Thank god I don't have that problem. Do you go out in public with that thing on?
Yes, but only to weddings and funerals.
Evacuate to the high butte?
Given the number of people that gamble on the lottery... it comes as no surprise to me that there are a lot of parents willing to gamble their kids' lives on NFL stardom.
FB has numbed me to such nonsense. You're grammar acumen is noted, however. Your going to go places...
Clearly it wasn't random. It was meant as a subversive insult directed at us so you can feel better about yourself. My feelings have been very, very hurt by you. If I get PTSD or my Powerball ticket is not a winner, I may have to sue you for Punitive Damages. Thanks...

I would have expected more drones in use by now instead this old fashion approach.
This bike is the hotness. 
The bastards took a couple to Burnside Skate Park. Totally missed out on this.

I am damn close. If I get a fat bonus next year, an SM with a set of dirt wheels will be mine, dammit!
