This is because of coyote creek. That is where this flooding is coming from. They shut this down about 8 00 last night. Again, dont know when theyre going to be reopening. The one bit of good news, we are getting a break from the rain. It is dry out here right now but as you can see, the damage from mondays rain has been done. Live in san jose, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. Mike nicco is joining us now and the rain has stopped but obviously theres a residual effect here. Yeah. The are residual effect was the water rushing through the streams into the creeks and into eventually Anderson Reservoir and then the spilling over of the dam which created so much chaos yesterday.

Remember, this flows from south to north, all the way up to the 85 101 split and then theres a possibility from edan veil all the way up through milpitas of more flooding through at least 5 00 friday morn
We are standing on northbound 101. This is in between the 680 and 280 interchange, and 880. You are not getting on to this highway, which is really going to be a struggle for people who are trying to evacuate just to find out that 101 cannot be part of their escape route. Both directions shut down. Southbound traffic is being diverted to 880. This alum rock onramp, the mckee onramp all shut down. This is because of the coyote creek. That is where the flooding is coming from. They made the decision to shut this down around 8 00 last night. They dont know when its going to reopen. No eta as of right now.

Now, weve got to turn our concern to edenvale where it is also falling faster than originally thought. Right now, were at 11 feet. Noon, theyre saying 11 feet but they really need to update that. I think were going to be below that. By 4 00, 10. 6 and by 7 00 this evening, below flood stage at edenvale. Still flooding possible through friday morning in san jose and milpitas. So were not out of the woods as far as that goes. Alexis. Yeah, certainly not out of the woods as far as flooding is concerned and how thats going to impact your commute. This is video of just from about an hour ago on 101 at mckee road and that is really where weve got some high waters and thats why 101 is fully closed this morning. So, that is both directions between 880 and the 280 680 split and i can show you where that is on the traffic maps here. Exactly where
