Actually, this could have a major impact, worse than the drought, on California water supplies. Lake Oroville supplies a huge % of water to Southern California. It depends on what they need to do in order to fix the spillway. It's hard right now to ascertain facts... the 1st order to evacuate was obviously done (and properly so, IMHO) very radically because there was a chance the spillway would collapse in less than an hour after the 1st announcement.
They've lowered the lake by 1/2 foot in 2 hours, but this is from media reports that I can see and not from Calfornia's Water authority. Looks like now the media is sensationalizing this difficult situation...
Hopefully there are more concrete facts in the a.m.
