[@antionettewardell2151]

Wow, to sad. I used to live in Santa Cruz for years and we had flooding at times. It's par for course when the rains and high tide would come in at the same time. I am sorry this is happening these people.

[@franciegarneau1651]

@@jwilcox4726 Doris Day's house is not in the flood plain. These homes were built in the estuary where the Carmel River meets the ocean. Her house is 6 miles west, overlooking the Quail Lodge/Golf Course, right off Carmel Valley Road. This flooding happens often with the first heavy rains. Another piece of info, Clint Eastwood's Mission Ranch is also in this neighborhood, but on higher ground.

Why were they putting sandbags down while the water was receding?

[@fredsays4958]

1977 - A similar storm with the atmospheric river dumped 10 -12 inches up in the Ventana Wilderness - part of the watershed- flooded that same area and it also took out the bridge over Highway 1. Lots of fun for Big Sur/Carmel Highlands residents. Don't Build on FLOODPLAINS!

[@imaham]

I remember back in the 90's where this Hatton Fields neighborhood flooded every year when there were heavy rains. Surprised that they haven't come up with a solution by now to keep things from flooding.

[@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki]

In BC on the coast I was ALWASY cleaning out storm drains as it rains so much. Storm drains block up easily if you get complacent. Then the water hits and it's too late. Those 2/3 million dollar homes with groomed grounds hopefully ALSO spent lots of money on extended insurance coverage.

[@LynneWright]

A little hard when you are at or below sea level. You’re looking at old neighborhoods and they cannot touch the coast with seawalls or levies.

I lived in the Monterey area for some years. The coast is beautiful but also vulnerable. That was why I moved inland with no regret. Peace of mind. And, my dog got healthier. She was traumatized by coyotes’ callings every night. My prayers go to those who are impacted. Be strong and safe!

[@chrisleffler3145]

Gotta have ocean view property!

[@jalbert222]

No, this is not rising tides, or climate change, or a dismissive 'nothing new'. This is because the outlet from the river to the sea, was not opened up soon enough, so fish, upstream, would have more water. Seriously. This was human disregard or error. The battle has been going on for years, whether to protect the residents or the upstream wildlife. The residents often lose. Obviously the decision makes do not live in the lower sitting end of town.

[@darkmoonlady2002]

The river breaches the sand bar just fine on it's own. The rain came down too fast. Had nothing to do with the river not breaching the sand bar. I was born there and seen worse flooding, in the 90s.
