Pajaro Levee Breach Devastates California Town

The town of Pajaro in California has been hit by floods after the levees on the Pajaro River failed, leaving thousands displaced. Emergency response crews are working to secure the water-soaked neighborhoods and provide aid for those still in their homes. The levee breach, which tripled in size between Friday and Monday, now spans 400ft across. The town has been hit by a series of weather-caused catastrophes that have rocked California since last December. The recently drought-stricken state has been drenched, as the deluges chewed into saturated hillsides that sent mud and debris cascading across highways and into homes.
