Show Notes
Residents of Pajaro in Monterey County were finally allowed to return home Thursday after destructive flooding from last week’s storms. When the levee broke, causing the town to flood, it wasn’t a huge surprise; problems with that levee have been well-known for decades, but it wasn’t enough to address the problem fast enough.
The Bay Area has hundreds of its own levees. And it turns out, we don’t really know how safe or vulnerable most of them are.
Guest: Ezra David Romero, climate reporter for KQED
