California officials released water from the main spillway at Oroville Dam Friday in the wake of recent storms and with snowmelt expected to swell lake levels later this year.  It’s the second release of water at the Oroville Dam’s rebuilt spillway since a flooding crisis in 2017 collapsed the main spillway, eroded an emergency spillway and forced more than 180,000 people to evacuate.
