From a dead sleep at about 1 a.m. Saturday, Pajaro residents Lucia Mendoza and her husband Francisco Curiel were jolted awake by wailing police sirens and voices over loudspeakers warning of a coming flood and urging evacuation.
But the rain that had them fleeing from their homes and their lives in the dead of night on Saturday isn’t over and flood waters in the area are expected to rise as weather forecasters project another atmospheric river to beat down on the region. “We’ve evacuated about 2,000 people,” Nieto said. “Our public safety has done over 200 evacuations in high-water vehicles and boats.” She added that authorities have rescued more than 200 people.
“I gotta tell folks, I know you’re tired you have storm warning fatigue but we give you these warnings because Mother Nature is very fickle,” Nieto said. While Mendoza and Curiel said they will likely sleep at the shelter for the next few days and are happy their family is safe, there is only one thing on their mind: rent.
