One man's preventative actions have kept one neighborhood connected to the rest of the world after huge floods wiped out a road.
CORRALITOS, Calif. - Traffic has been completely cut off to one community after their access bridge washed away in the storms.Darrell Hardy set up the line new year’s weekend when he thought the bridge connecting his community to the main road might go out.
“Well, you live in the woods up here, you got to be prepared,” Hardy said. “We have seven households up here. Some are in their 70s, 80s, 60s as we are, and then you have them as young as 3 years old as well.”While the Grizzly Flat community is in unincorporated Santa Cruz County, the bridge across Corralitos Creek was owned by the city of Watsonville.
“It’s kind of scary because, you know, people live on propane and need gas for generators,” said Hardy’s wife, Stacey Cooper.
