This June 23, 2005, aerial photo provided by the California Department of Water Resources shows Oroville Dam, Lake Oroville and the Feather River in the foothills of Sierra Nevada near Oroville, Calif. The concrete spillway that was undermined and developed huge holes in the last few days is at lower left. Release of water from the dam, the damaged spillway and the use of an earthen emergency spillway has caused a temporary evacuation on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2017, of thousands of people downstream.
