An evacuation order for communities near the Oroville Dam was reduced to an evacuation warning at 1 p.m. PT Tuesday, allowing residents to return, according to a statement from the Butte County Sheriff's Office.
"[H]owever all residents are advised to remain vigilant and prepared as conditions can rapidly change. People who have special needs or require extended time to evacuate should consider remaining evacuated," the statement said.
It sounds like the danger isn't past, but it's down below panic levels. If I were in that situation, I would seriously consider packing up my household and re-evacuating to higher ground until the evacuation warning was lifted
