Bay Area receives much-needed measurable rainfall
Jesse Gary reports on the cleanup following 24 hours of rainy weather.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - A soggy Saturday sees San Jose sewage maintenance crews clearing storm drains of debris. Officials say rain and winds during so-called “leaf drop” season can lead to damage in some cases, and localized flooding.
“If a number of leaves accumulate in the gutter, they can get washed into the catch basin and cause a clog,” said Jennifer Seguin, division manager for the San Jose Sewer Maintenance Program.
Friday night and into Saturday, light but steady rain falls across the Bay Area.
