Good morning, everyone, welcome to Newsround this

:00:10.:00:11.

Tuesday morning with me, Ayshah.

:00:12.:00:13.

First, around 200,000 people living close to America's tallest dam have

:00:14.:00:18.

been told it's not safe for them to return home yet.

:00:19.:00:20.

The area around the Oroville Dam was evacuated after a hole

:00:21.:00:23.

The Oroville Dam is in northern California.

:00:24.:00:30.

It's the tallest in America, at 230 metres, which is about the same

:00:31.:00:34.

as 15 double decker buses stacked on top of each other.

:00:35.:00:39.

A dam is a barrier that's built to hold back water.

:00:40.:00:42.

It can be used to generate electricity, supply homes,

:00:43.:00:45.

The Oroville Dam works by collecting rain water in a reservoir or a lake.

:00:46.:00:52.

But there's been heavy rain and snow recently,

:00:53.:00:54.

When something like this happens, a spillway,

:00:55.:00:59.

which looks a bit like a huge water slide, is used

:01:00.:01:02.

to release some of the water in a controlled way.

:01:03.:01:06.

But the heavy rain has damaged the spillway.

:01:07.:01:08.

There were worries it could have caused a huge wall of water to fall

:01:09.:01:15.

into the river below and flood the area.

:01:16.:01:17.

Thousands of people were ordered to leave their homes.

:01:18.:01:20.

They've now been told they can't return home yet.

:01:21.:01:27.

Getting those people home is important to me. I want that to

happen as soon as possible. But I have to be able to sleep at night

knowing that they are back in that area.

:01:41.:01:42.

Teams have been working to fix the problem.

:01:43.:01:44.

After draining some of the water, bags of rocks

:01:45.:01:46.

For now, the water levels in the lake have gone down

:01:47.:01:52.

but more rain is expected in the area this week.

:01:53.:01:56.

It's no fun being left out of your team, is it?
