Felton Grove residents bracing for the next round of storms after destructive flooding
On Monday night, it's the calm before the next storm. Those who spoke with KTVU remember the Felton Grove floods of 1982 and 1998. They say they haven’t experienced anything like this since then, and unfortunately this time, they don’t know if or when the flooding will be over.
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Bay Area was hit with more turbulent weather this week as heavy rain and damaging winds swept across the region, preceding another series of incoming storms and raising the potential for more road flooding, rising rivers and mudslides on soils already saturated after days of rain.
The latest in a relentless string of storms swamped roads, triggered landslides, and turned rivers into gushing flood zones.
Basements were flooded. Cars were submerged. Backyards filled up with river water.
And it's not over yet.
Forecasters expect the rain to continue into Saturday.
Here's a look at some of the damage around the Bay Area and surrounding cities.
