SAN DIEGO — Residents in Mountain View have placed sandbags around many of their homes to try to prevent additional flooding and water damage.
“I’m getting out of here,” said Jacalyn Marshall, Mountain View resident. The heavy rain Tuesday morning brought back harrowing memories for many residents. “I’m scared so I’m trying to get back to the hotel,” she added.
Marshall had to escape her home on Jan. 22 during the storm. As her home flooded, she and others helped her 88-year-old neighbor get out of her home.
For Marshall, Tuesday’s rain storm was unsettling.
“I started getting really scared,” she said. Marshall said in her opinion, Tuesday’s rain seemed heavier than it was on Jan. 22 when her home flooded.
Overnight into Tuesday morning, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria confirmed crews responded to two areas in southeast San Diego for reports of flooding — one on Birch Street and one on S. 42nd St. — to mitigate the flooding during heavy rain.
