Race to save badly damaged California dam before MORE rainfall: Second storm is set to hit the tallest dam in America in 48 hours and could cause 100ft deep flood and leave 200,000 homeless

California Department of Water Resources officials (left) waited until Monday morning to investigate an erosion scar on the spillway at Oroville Dam, having previous warned the worst case scenario of a complete structural breakdown at the emergency spillway would unleash a torrent of water that would engulf Oroville within an hour. The ensuing flood from the 770-foot dam would catastrophically put the city and several other low-lying communities along the Feather River under 100ft of water. The potential disaster is the result of massive spikes in water levels as a result of snow and heavy rain after years of drought, and damage to the primary and emergency spillways at the dam. Officials first noticed a large hole in the dam's spillway last week. The threat appeared to ease somewhat Monday, which officials saying water flows into the lake stood at about 45,000 cubic feet per second with outflows at 100,000 cubic feet per second. But the forecasted arrival of another heavy storm this week has experts working desperately to get the water level down by 50-feet before Wednesday. Weather maps show the rain will begin to hit on Wednesday night, before the worst of it will be dumped on Thursday morning.
