This afternoon the flashboards on California's Shasta Dam were opened to create the world's largest man made waterfall.
The lake's high water level was posing a threat to boaters.
El Nino is getting the blame.
Officials say the last time all three flashboards were opened was in 19-83, which was also an El Nino year.
