Homes in California were encircled by water amid an evacuation order
About 2,000 residents were under evacuation orders and warnings in San Luis Obispo County, as crews there spent the day monitoring levees, creeks and rivers and filling sandbags, said Rachel Monte Dion, the county's emergency services coordinator.
The collapse of one roadway in Paso Robles for the second time since January left a couple hundred residents outside that town cut off again, Dion said. Evacuation orders were issued along the Monterey County banks of that river, where "the levee is a little bit lower" than on the Santa Cruz County side, Hoppin said.
