SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A dramatic surveillance video from Logan Heights shows how quickly Monday’s floodwaters submerged cars and flooded homes.
For Jon Cabalza and his dad, Juan, the cleanup is just beginning at their Logan Avenue home.
Their surveillance camera captured the cause of the damage on Monday morning.
“I was just waking up. My dad was on the couch when the water started to rise up,” Jon Cabalza said.
At 10:19 a.m., Jon Cabalza’s first task was to drive his year-old Tesla to higher ground. You can see him wading through the water when he returns.
“As soon as I get back, I saw all the water rushing in,” Jon Cabalza said.
By then, it was too late to move his father’s vehicle, now a third submerged. By 10:30 a.m., the yard became a lake as household items began floating.
The water started filling up their home and the apartments of two tenants.
At 10:40 a.m., one of their tenants, a couple and their 2-year-old on the roof , before they made their way down, grabbed a floating door to use as a raft for their daughter.
