The storms that have relentlessly pounded California since the end of last year have claimed at least 18 lives. Most of the deaths have been caused by falling trees and people driving on flooded roads.
LOS ANGELES — Lindsy Doan didn’t think the water flowing over the creek crossing on San Marcos Road was deeper than normal when she tried navigating it in her SUV while driving her 5-year-old son to school.
Kyle Doan, 5, is missing after he was swept away by floodwater when his mother drove across a creek flowing over the road on the way to school. Doan, a special education teacher at the school, was less enthusiastic, wishing she had a few more days off as she took the back road from their home near Paso Robles.
When Doan approached Monday in light rain, there were no road closures and she didn’t think it looked any different from the day before. Jalbert said someone trapped in a car taking on water should get out of if they can and get on the roof, if possible. In a typical winter, the river may be waist deep, but he guessed it was up to 12 feet deep and four times its width when it’s running.
