The access bridge in Corralitos, located in Santa Cruz County, was washed away in storm waters. It could have left several families stranded. However, thanks to resident Darrell Hardy, that didn't happen.
Seven households use the bridge almost daily because it's the only road into the town for work and obtaining supplies.
Hardy said fuel is important to residents on Grizzly Flat Road because they are all off-grid, using solar panels and generators. Since he couldn't get home, Hardy was forced to stay at a hotel. When he attempted to return home in the morning, the retaining wall was gone.Three-plus weeks of nearly non-stop rain in California unfolded a stubborn weather pattern that sent wave after wave of tropically-infused atmospheric rivers, triggering widespread flooding, landslides and power outages across the state.
Today, the water levels have dropped substantially, and residents can walk across the bridge’s debris. Hardy said the city of Watsonville, which owns the bridge, is still in conversation with the county who has jurisdiction over salmon habitats.
