The City of #Monterey about to be cut off from the rest of California: "Anyone who is on the peninsula when flooding occurs will not be able to leave. Anyone who is not on the peninsula will not be able to enter. Floodwaters could remain on the roads for up to three days with clean up and repair requiring work before roads can reopen." #CAwx #weather #California https://myemail.constantcontact.com/City-of-Monterey-Update--392.html?soid=1102643129353&aid=JkeOW53s6Gs
