People evacuated from Oroville are returning home.
The photos can be misleading at to the true size of the Oroville project.
Repair crews are dropping 40 gigantic truckloads of rock an hour on the eroded slope of the emergency spillway, a process which continues in spite of their belief the slope as it is now is safe enough to use if needed.
Helicopters are dropping bags of rocks into the eroded hole in the Spillway along with a giant machine pumping cement into the hole.

If the next storms are cold enough to become snow rather than rain, the dam level will not increase for a few months.
