Chollas Creek storm channel appears to be flowing during first of two Winter storms

Anxiety and fears of more flooding Friday in Southcrest and Mountain View turned to relief for now as the Chollas Creek storm channel appeared to be flowing smoothly.

“It looks like it’s a whole new day,” said Raul Landavazo as he checked on the water level of the channel behind his home on 42nd Street. “It looks like it’s flowing now, that’s what it’s supposed to do all along.”

The situation was calm on 42nd Street as rainfall lightened up by the afternoon hours. Sandbags lined doorways and garages, and many people stayed in hotels with vouchers handed out by the YMCA.
