Levee Break Shuts Down California Highway, Strands Students Overnight At School
A broken levee shut down U.S. Highway 101 in Northern California on Wednesday and forced about 30 students and teachers to spend the night in their school’s gym.
Meanwhile, a nursing home in a neighboring county evacuated its residents because of flooding.
The levee near the school in Chualar was partially breached about 2 p.m., KSBW reported. The rain came as an atmospheric river storm drenched the state.
