As residents salvage what they can from flooded homes in Woodlake, some point to a new housing development that replaced orchards and a creek bed, possibly compromising drainage.
The town has power and gas but no potable water. Gov. Gavin Newsom said farmworkers affected by the floods would receive checks of $600, regardless of immigration status.“Most of our home was a complete loss,” he said.
It “was made on top of the creek,” he said. He has written to the city to ask how the homes were approved and what their environmental impact statement said.The land “was a basin” before being developed, Diaz said, with orchards and a creek. Like the Zaragozas, Diaz did not have flood insurance. When he called, the company offered him a policy beginning in 30 days. He sighed. “I need some relief now.”
