Heavy rain brought flood waters to Rio Linda neighborhoods on Tuesday night, surprising many residents with closed roads on the drive home. “This all is from that rain storm last night!” said Tom Morris, who has lived in Rio Linda for 30 years. “It rained so hard that I had just cleaned all of my gutters and none of the gutters in my house could hold it.” Morris told CBS13 the water looked like it was receding Tuesday night, so seeing Dry Creek flooded on Wednesday was unexpected.
“It was so bad that cars were getting literally stuck because they could not make it through the water,” said Jon Sowul, who had to take a detour around flood water on his way home from dinner.
