Thousands of people were ordered to evacuate their homes early Wednesday in the northern California city of San Jose as floodwaters inundated neighborhoods and forced the shutdown of a major highway.
Authorities said the flooding the worst in 100 years was caused after Coyote Creek, which runs through Silicon Valley, burst its banks following days of heavy rain. The area under evacuation covers a large swath of the state's third largest city.
