San Jose flooding: Dozens rescued by boat

9 hours ago

From the section US & Canada

A San Jose neighbourhood was submerged in water after a creek overflowed, prompting a boat rescue of stricken people and pets. Dozens of residents of the Californian city were taken to safety, where they were rinsed down to prevent disease from the floodwaters. Five people stranded at a homeless camp were also rescued. Firefighters had to go from door to door to tell residents to get out of their homes.
(snip)

The rains that burst the river banks were the latest in a series of storms that have dumped huge quantities of water from the Pacific Ocean on California.
