Debris slid under the car and sent the driver air board to the other lanes. The driver survived. With the amount of rain we have had its very challenging.

The flooding was so bad that the general manager of the golf course said police were forced to evacuate 22 people from a luncheon at the meadows restaurant here. We had to make the decision to close the road and we had to get them out of there. Reporter employees here said its not unusual to have some amount of flooding on this side of the golf course, although certainly not to that extent. What is unusual is this, the water spreading all the way across the entrance road here. That is ultimately what forced the evacuation here along with how quickly the current was moving. Being here almost 17 years, i have never seen the road flooded. Reporter lieutenant allen love says the visitors at the luncheon had to be driven out in suvs, their own vehicles still stranded in the restaurant parking lot. Employees say with rain still in the forecast, its a waiting game now. We are hoping that thursday, theres not as bad as theyre calling for. Reporter in Castro Valley, Christin Ayers, kpix 5. [ music ] time now 4 42. 100 years ago much of the state was under 10 feet of water. Are we actually overdue for a historic megaflood in the bay area . The answer next. ,,,,,,,, california had 40days of nonstop rain. Most of the state. Was nearly t underwater. Only if we you this these storms are bad, it could be worse.

It was a catastrophe. Reporter multiple Atmospheric Rivers hit california again and again. These things can carry up to 10 mississippis worth of water vapor from the topics like a firehose. Reporter and we have had several of those firehoses this winter tremendous amounts of rainfall and flooding. If all our water year of rainfall is represented by this one jug of water, you would need four to represent all the rain that fell back in 1862. So the question is, could it happen again . The answer, yes. Geographic data says california will have a megaflood about every one to two hundred years. So were overdue, long overdue. In the San Francisco brauer, there are over 350,000 people that live in the 100 year floodplain and im sure the vast majority of them dont realize that theyre living in an area thats at risk. Reporter losses could be over 700 billion leaving millions homeless. Coastal flooding could crumble the outdated levees leaving safe travel and clean water a distant memory. If you think its not going to happen, ask this man. Being from louisiana, i know personally how how much new orleans has changed since katrina because people have left and its come back, but its not exactly the same.
