The brutal spell of weather plaguing the Golden State continued Saturday as floodwaters surged over a levee and sent residents of an agricultural town stumbling.
Over 1,000 Californians were forced to evacuate Saturday morning after a levee failed and the small town of Pajaro was flooded by a torrential storm that drenched the Central Coast’s Monterey County.
Dramatic footage posted on social media showed early-morning rescues being carried out for residents who’d become trapped in their parked vehicle by rising floodwaters.

That is about 120 miles south of SF. California has poorly made and maintained levees, usually constructed by farmers trying to protect their crops. There are lots of levees in the are of the state capitol. This might be a bad year for floods for them.
