Dozens rescued by boat in San Jose flooding (Photos)

San Jose firefighters have rescued more than 200 residents by boat in flood waters in the Rocksprings neighborhood at Senter and Phelan in California, US. The firefighters have been going from door to door to tell residents to get out of their homes following the rains from Monday which led to a heavy flooding on Tuesday.

The rains which burst the river banks were said to be the latest in a series of storms that have dumped huge quantities of water from the Pacific Ocean on California.
