Assessing Emergency Measures for Pajaro River Levees Amid Flooding Crisis.
Officials in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties are considering emergency measures to prevent further flooding from the Pajaro River, which has already caused massive flooding in the town of Pajaro. Among the possible solutions are cutting through Highway 1 to relieve pressure on the river, opening up the levee downstream of the point, or doing nothing. A decision is likely to be made on Tuesday afternoon.
