A local state of emergency was declared by San Jose officials on Saturday night, alerting locals to the possibility of flooding due to an approaching storm. Residents should prepare to evacuate their houses at any time, Mercury News reported.
The California City proclaimed as the atmospheric rain began to spread over the San Francisco Bay area, advising people to stay inside, not to travel, and to take preventative measures, including packing essential papers and prescriptions, relocating valuables to the highest point in their homes, and removing cars from high-risk areas for flooding.
The city has ordered homeless people living along the Guadalupe River to leave because of the possibility of significant floods.
According to the California Nevada River Forecast Centre, the river may reach its second-highest water level ever recorded on Sunday morning if it rises to 11-and-a-half feet.
According to the forecast centre, flooding could threaten homes from West Alma Avenue south to Thousand Oaks Park.
Several warming centres have been built around the city at the Roosevelt Community Centre and Camden Community Centre for unhoused individuals and others in need.
Other bay areas and counties have also issued warnings, urging people to take precautions and stay inside.
A forecaster said, "Please be weather-aware tomorrow. If you don't need to travel, you may not want to. Be prepared for power outages, charge cell phones tonight, and have batteries ready. Heed all evacuation notices or warnings if instructed."
