Papabear , That's all they need now !!!
But a 1.0 is a micro quake you couldn't even feel it , maybe if were standing on the epicenter. Water is heavy and that our 2nd largest lake.

My own two cents.
The Hoover Dam is a proper concrete dam. You can see the spillways in action.
The Oroville dam looks a lot more like a hu-uge embankment.
(Someone please resize this behemoth...
)
It is not made of reincorced concrete, rather like cubic miles packed earth.
On the one hand, it is softer, so more flexible and more likely to resist an earthquake.
On the other hand, its weak spot is erosion - which is what is happening right now.
However, flooding by erosion is a lot slower and more progressive than the apocalyptic 30-ft surge of water you would have when a concrete dam fails and collapses.

I think that's what they were worried about. That the erosion in the spillway would get deep enough to undermine the concrete wall, and it would fail from the bottom.

If real estate values drop below the amount of the mortgage, they'll be underwater even if the dam holds.

It's called "negative equity" and many folks sufferd from it in the early 2k years...

Yes, Pesci, the Official term is negative equity, but Underwater or Upside Down are common terms. Me, being me, thought underwater was fitting in this topic.
We just traded cars. We financed some negative equity.. I'm expecting this car to last longer than the payments and never do that again.
