jdc, freeradical, and Ken Sp. are the users listed on the map downstream from Lake Oroville.
It's the second largest reservoir in the state. Oroville and Yuba City/Marysville would be mowed down. Highway 5, 80, and 99 would likely be under water in multiple places. Sacramento could be in very bad shape depending on how much it rains in the next two days since they already have flooding in some outlying areas.
Lake Oroville is 3.6 million acre feet, that's a square area about 75 miles on a side, one foot deep. Sacramento is 68 miles from Oroville. I don't know if all the water would flow out.
