Thousands Evacuate Homes in San Jose, California, Amid Heavy Flooding
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In San Jose, California, more than 14,000 residents have been forced to
evacuate their homes after heavy rains caused the region's largest
reservoir to overflow. Some neighborhoods were so badly flooded that
firefighters went door to door in boats rescuing trapped residents. It's
the worst flooding to hit Silicon Valley in a century.
