WATSONVILLE — Approximately 500 residents of North Monterey County and South Santa Cruz County have filed claims against local governments and agencies over what they view as negligence in preventing the devastating floods that occurred in the area between December and March.
One of the claimants was Watsonville resident Sonia Corrales, who was forced to live in her garage with her parents, children and siblings after the Dec. 31 floods. For three months, they rested on air mattresses while the main portion of the house was being repaired, but when the Pajaro River levee breached March 11, they could not even live in their home and had to take shelter elsewhere, with Corrales moving in with her sister in Aptos.“The damage was really bad,” she said.
This sentiment was echoed in the claims, which argued that the agencies failed to remove trees, debris and shrubs from the river and surrounding areas.
