The California Department of Water Resources has suspended flows from the Oroville Dam spillway after a concrete section eroded on the middle section of the spillway. There is no anticipated threat to the dam or the public.

The hole in the spillway for the Oroville Dam continues to grow as officials opened the gates again Friday.
Schools were temporarily closed near the lake Friday as a security precaution and state officials are considering opening the emergency spillway this Saturday.
