Photos: San Ysidro Ranchers Cope with Flooding
Heavy rains on Monday caused major fooding in some San Diego neighborhoods. In San Ysidro, ranchers focused on moving their animals out of flooded areas.
In San Ysidro, ranchers were focused on moving their animals out of flooded areas. Cars were stuck in the middle of the road and emergency workers were helping people get to safety. At the ranches near Hollister Street (I had to get in a kayak to get there) I watched how ranchers were dealing with the flooding and how the animals were coping. Dorte Dresher from Dresher Ranch told me their hay, power tools, generators had been destroyed because of the waters and animals were moved to higher ground for their safety.
Here are some scenes from Monday afternoon.

Thank You for this essential reporting! I live not far from here, but wasn’t venturing out in the flooding.
The ranches near the Tijuana River had severe flooding as well.
