To put it into perspective, this is 2 days ago before it got
really big. They turned off the flow so they could inspect but
had to turn it on again or the lake would have overflowed to the
emergency, uncontrollable overflow spillway. They said doing
that would have flooded us and every town south of us to
Sacramento. Those are full grown men in the hole!

And the evacuation order has been issued, it seems the overflow
is eroding the emergency overflow area:
