Is it true that parts of I-5 are flooded out due to the same storms?

It would be funny if they made the flooding a lot worse by blasting millions of cubic feet of water down the river into a floodplain right before historic storms.

I get the impression it's a choice of do it now in a controlled manner or it's ALL puking out when the dam decides to give it up.

If a 1.8 did literally anything to that dam it would've collapsed long, long ago.

For comparison, this:

qualifies as a 1.x magnitude seismic event
