Paul chambers is standing by with the latest developments. But first we want to check in with steve paulson. Thank goodness there is a break. They have very limited options. The base best Case Scenario would be a month of dry weather. They have to take a look at the main spillway. They ramped up the cfs at 100,000. If there is no further damage they will increase it. If there is, they have to shore up the auxiliary. At least the water is not coming over that anymore. Its hopped out at 3 am on sunday morning 901 feet. We do have cloud cover moving and. A lot of high and middle level clouds. Main spillway flow increases the key. The inflow has gone down. The outflow is 100,000. If the spillway is okay and no further, compromise they will wrap it up. It has been up to 160,000. We will see around sunrise at 7 am. Capacity is 900 it is now at 898. 19. Water levels are dropping. There is a Flood Warning for that area. For possible dam failure.

The driver got out safety. They are blocking two lanes on 580. Westbound approaching dublin from livermore. Things are improving quite a bit. Were talking about the commute here in fremont. This is on automall parkway. There was a big rig that tried to make a uturn and did not make it. There was some slow traffic in the area. The traffic is open now on automall parkway heading west. Eastbound were just a few moments away. This could be gone in 20 minutes. That will mean a lot of improvement for automall parkway and nearby interstate 680. The bay bridge toll plaza is backed up for a 15 or 20 minute delay. A busy morning were keeping an eye on our story and butte county. Paul chambers and our newsroom. The Evacuation Order is still in place. Even though things look a little better right now. Reporter officials believe the immediate threat is over because the lake levels are continuing to drop. The water is no longer coming over the spillway. Evacuation orders still affecting 200,000 people because they are worried about their safety. There are actually 2 spillways both separate from the dam itself. Over the weekend levels were so high the secondary emergency spillway was used for the first time in 50 years. A whole developed in the main spillway last week. Officials noticed a hole in the back of spillway after water flowed into the lake. If that is not addressed and we dont take care of it properly, essentially what were looking at is approximately a 30 foot wall of water coming out of the lake. That is why we took the appropriate measures. And implemented the evacuation process that we had going. Reporter they are emphasizing the oroville dam is not in danger of failing. They want to stress the problem is erosion of the emergency spillway. They need to lower the lake level by at least 50 feet the next few days to prepare for another storm later this week. The governor. Says things are rapidly changing so he issued an order to help speed up. As soon as the sun comes up helicopters will take to the sky to start repairs on that spillway. I want to show you new video taken with in the past 20 minutes. This is right near the spillway and oroville. Crews are prepping for the repairs theyre going to make. Once the sun comes up. The process involves helicopters from around the state and bags of boulders. Reporter this place is abuzz with activity. There are racing to fill up the bags with boulders that will be placed on the auxiliary spillway. This is the completed bags. They will be picked up by helicopters as soon as it is feasible to fly. They will place them on top of that week area of the spillway. There are several steps in the process. We will walk you through this. Were seeing dump trucks bringing in the boulders. And dumping them off in the big pile in the middle. From there the black holes are picking them up the rocks are being loaded into the bags. They are moved into that pile there are no helicopters flying right now but they are coming in from around the state where they will transport up to that spillway later this morning. I want to take you off to the other side. Off to the right there is the dam in the foreground. Out there in the background you can see the part of the auxiliary spillway that is in question. That is where the rocks are going to be dropped off as they tried to strengthen that week area. We do not know how many bags crews are trying to fill up. Were told this will continue through the morning. Once the daylight breaks they will have the helicopters working. That was tom miller reporting. The repair process will start later this morning. We will give you an update on how that is going. Evacuation centers are set up and butte, yuba and glenn counties.

If they need as they are we will stay there. We have a lot of winter so everyone knows we do have assets and personnel at menlo park fire district.

That is why it was delayed for 2 hours. Today is the last day to send comments to the Transportation Department about whether or not Airline Passengers should be able to make wifi calls on a plane. The decision to allow wifi calls would be made by each individual airline. The airline would have to tell passengers when they buy a ticket whether or not calls are allowed on board.

This is automall parkway eastbound still close. Westbound traffic is getting through. There was an earlier big rig accident. Its build a good portion of the fuel right here on the road. They cannot open eastbound automall parkway near 680 because of that contamination. Westbound is typically the commute direction right here. You see a Police Officer walking through the area.

I hope you enjoyed the weekend. The creeks and streams still moving. We get that break until wednesday night. The next system comes in were looking for higher clouds today. A quick overview the main spillway is the key right now. They ramp that up to 100,000. What is going out is much greater than what is coming in. If the spillway if there is not for the damage to the main spillway they will ramp that up to maybe 124 140. The most was 160 in 1997. We will see what happens around 7 am. The capacity is 900. That was preached briefly as a went over. Over the lip of the auxiliary dam now that is retreating the water level has gone down below capacity. 898. 19. There is a Flood Warning for possible auxiliary dam failure. That is for the National Weather service. Lake oroville these into the Feather River. I 70 if the worstCase Scenario, if that did fail those areas would be in the area i 70, marysville, lets hope they can get a handle on it and shore up the auxiliary. There is no crack in the auxiliary just erosion. We have a lot of high clouds. That will continue to move over the area. A lot of 40s of the temperatures. A very active pattern the forecast models are wrestling with where to put the heaviest precipitation. There leaning more toward northern california. The cmc is very well for us. Over the next 10 days. The other models are leaning in that direction. It puts about 10 inches of rain over the Feather River canyon. It is not looking good right now. We get another 2 days of a break. Middle 60s on the temperatures. I would not be surprised san jose maybe fremont on tuesday and wednesday because of a south went could push upper 60s to near 70. Rain comes back on thursday. Is the one forecast model is right, it will be thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. You will have a more finely tuned forecast as we get closer.

Police are investigating the death of 2 people whose bodies were found in berkeley. They were called to a home saturday morning the bodies were found in a detached apartment. Family remembers reported this. They dont know how the people died. Investigators are treating it as suspicious. It is still early so they have not ruled anything out. We have had clear skies for a couple of days. Areas like San Mateo County have a lot of storm damage. Last month a road developed a new contract and then days later the land shifted dramatically. There on scenic drive. The street dropped about 20 feet. Homes that had been above the road are sitting on a cliff. People who live there and say they have very few options because insurance does not pay for landslides. It doesnt cover land movement. So there is that. I have been told it might cover bulldozing the house. That is where my property was. So this is just sound. Neighbors are helping to move furniture setting up a gofundme account to help victims. There is a good chance there could be more damage. The land still moving. In the north bay part of highway 37 is under water. To the third time, the road between highway 101 and ampligen avenue is closed because of flooding. On a normal day about 40,000 drivers use that road. Caltrans is trying to find solutions to this. One idea is to raise the road 5 feet. That would take between 8 and 11 million. And they also need several weeks of dry weather. It is snowing again at the northeast days after another storm dumped more than a foot of snow in the region. A storm warning is in effect from new york to maine and some areas could get up to 2 date of snow. The National Weather service is warning of strong wind and coastal flooding.

Thousands of people forced to leave their homes. They have to wait for repairs to be made on the emergency spillway. We will bring you a live report. It is a tough monday. We have to slow traffic at the bay bridge toll plaza. This commute has been looking very typical. 1520 minutes. Outbreak continues but there is a change. We have high clouds coming in and a wet pattern kicks in wednesday night or thursday. Thank you for joining us. Monday, first day of the week. February monday, first day of the week. February 13. Such an intense way to start the week. Is now 6 30. Were following the news from oroville. 188 188,000 people in beuth, yuma and Sutter County had to be evacuated. That order remains in effect this morning. It is really unclear how long they will be out of their homes. The emergency spillway of the dam was close to collapsing. They say the danger has decreased. The spillway is still standing. It is not being used to release water at this point. The latest report show the reservoir is at 100 capacity. Is started with the normal spillway which can handle a lot of water. It also had some damage to it. We have to stop to steve. He sees more rain headed our way. They are racing for time. There is more rain on the way. They have to make issues. 2 issues. They have to get the auxiliary shored up. And see what the damage is. The released the cfs on the main spillway. If there is not additional damage they can get up to 160 cfs. Were going to be watching those helicopters. We will get a pretty good luck at sunrise. I think there is a lot of rain on the way. Lets not forget there is a bunch of snow up above the watershed. That eventually will have to melt. There is multiple issues going forward. They could use a month of dry weather. But they will only get two more days. I would say within 45 minutes we will have a good idea. The outflow exceeds the inflow. That was not the case last week. It is at 100,000 ft. 3 per second. If it is okay, if the damage is not severe they will increase that. That will help lower the lake pretty rapidly. If there is additional damage, then it is back to plan b. Maximum capacity is 900. It is at 898. 19. It is slowly decreasing. There is a Flood Warning for possible failure of the auxiliary down. We have a lot of high clouds on the way. Forecast models are wrestling with the pattern. On where to put the rain. It wont be today or tomorrow. It will be wednesday night and thursday. Today mostly sunny, partly cloudy. It looks like were setting up for what could be a wet pattern on thursday. 60s for temperatures. The commute in many areas is looking routine. If you drive that way every day you will notice everything is the same. The east shore freeway 180 westbound as you drive to the macarthur base.

I want to show you contra costa county. Highway 4 will be slow. More routine traffic there. The santa cruz mountains, they are still doing slide repair. Lanes are open and both directions. The commute is very slow. If you drive from santa cruz and try to get to the Silicon Valley that will be a tough commute. Eastbound and westbound this is automall parkway. A couple of lanes are still close. Eastbound is still close. Westbound which is the commute direction going away from 680 is open. A truck got into a wreck and spilled fuel. Theyre waiting for that to come to be cleaned up. Getting back to our top story, the developing story at the oroville dam. Preparations are underway at this hour for repair work on the emergency spillway. Taking a look at what is being done there. Chapters are picking up boulders and sandbags. They will be dropped onto the spillway. Engineers say that could help stop the erosion the forced them to shut it down late last night. The work will begin after the experts have had a chance to assess the damage already done. They will start after the sun is out. So they can clearly see the spillway. Were going to continue to monitor that situation with so many People Living below the dam. Order to leave their homes. Nearby Evacuation Centers are filling up. Alex savage is in oroville. Reporter oroville itself is empty. We just drove through town to get to the area of the lake where all the work is going on. Oroville empty for the most part except for Law Enforcement and emergency workers. Who are working on trying to put a fixed in place for the erosion problem on that emergency spillway. The situation seemingly has stabilized somewhat with the lake level dropping. But still a very active seen this morning at the lake where they are filling up those large bags with boulders. A helicopter will place those bags along the top portion of the emergency spillway to try and deal with the erosion problem. Even once they put that into place more rain is on the way. There is still a lot of concern about the integrity of both of those spillways. The Evacuation Orders remain in place. Shelters are set up across the area. We were at a shelter at the Silver Dollar fairgrounds in chico this morning. One of many places where people have gone after they were evacuated yesterday afternoon. Because of the problems with the dam. Authorities ordered almost 200,000 people to evacuate the areas below the dam. Including communities along the Feather River, yuba city, marysville and oroville. Traffic backed up for miles as people packed up with a hood and tried to get out. Some evacuees we talked to this morning say they are hopeful and they believe they will be returning home zone. Guaranteed god is not going to give us all this water and break the dam. And have us homeless. Reporter in yuba city this was seen last night. Long lines at gas stations as drivers filled up for the left the evacuation zone. It was a hectic situation having to leave so quickly. Shelters are set up across the area. Many of the larger shelters in chico about 20 or 30 minutes north of here. The hotels in the area are filling up as well. It is becoming difficult to find a place to stay. This is the work happening in Lake Oroville. They are getting set to put some of these bags filled with boulders. They will put it inside that you wrote it portion of the spillway hoping that will solve the problem. There is no word on when these Evacuation Orders might be lifted.

Butte college and the county office of education will also be close. The oroville dam was part of the Feather River project that went into service in 1960 a. Oroville lake is the second largest in california. It has the tallest dam in the country. Not the first time there have been questions about the safety. 12 years ago three groups set the dam failed to meet safety standards.
