San Mateo’s Mayor says that they’ve launched a flood relief fund, and he supports a full and transparent analysis of their response when the storms are finally over.
"The City was preparing in advance as best we could with the information available, by clearing storm water catch basins, storm drains and trash racks throughout the city, and bringing in crews to assist. Our dispatch received 1,300 calls for service, and we responded to as many as we possibly could."
Dean White says he's lived on 16th since 2004. He says he's never experienced flooding like this before and was completely unprepared for it. "The creek, it came up to street level and came over onto Delaware. It was amazing to see. It looked like a lake," White said. "…before we could get to the end like halfway, we had to stop. Boots filled with water," said Nolan White, Dean's son. In Santa Clara County, a warning was also issued on Sunday, asking people to be prepared to evacuate. In San Jose, those areas include Guadalupe River at Alma Avenue, Ross Creek at Cherry Ave, and areas near Upper Penitencia Creek.
