Not quite, it was the first time ever that the emergency spillway had to be used so they have no idea how well it was going to work. It does beg the question of how well current emergency spillways are designed for severe floods that will occur more frequently with warmer oceans. Oroville is one of 40 with height greater than 500 feet with similar spillways.
