KCRA has their help o' ear as the light falls. Looks like the main concer is north of the aux spillway (with its concrete berm) in the parking lot area that seems to be creating boils under the surface west of the dam. It could lead to some thing similar to a levee fail catastrophe (not hyperbole unfortunately). The helo panned a view of hiway 70 as two lanes of traffic crawl north to higher ground. Two southbound lanes have minimal traffic and all it would take to inceaas the evacuation is to breach the median and let traffic flow. The gumming can't even get emergency service right!
