According to Monterey County Sheriff Tina M. Nieto, over 200 people have been rescued from the Pajaro area. No casualties have been reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An evacuation order was issued on Sunday by the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office for residents near the Salinas River as storm conditions and flooding have caused road closures and evacuations. There is a full road closure of Highway 1 from Salinas Road to Highway 129 (Riverside Drive) in Watsonville due to flooding. Evacuation orders for Santa Cruz County were lifted at 10 a.m. on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NPRMontereyBay/status/1634991809373028352\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday afternoon, Brian Ferguson, spokesperson with the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), said officials are focused on helping people who may be in the path of additional floodwaters if more rain comes. They’re also working to get information to people who need it. “We know that vulnerable Californians are disproportionately impacted by natural disasters,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that it is possible there may be additional downstream impacts from this flooding. “We’re not through this,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This community is a small, disadvantaged community, mostly Latino, mostly low-income farmworkers,” said Monterey County Board of Supervisors Chair Luis Alejo. He added that this same flooding happened in 1995. “It’s heartbreaking to see the community under floodwaters today. And we know that these residents are going to go through some challenging times over the next several months to try to get their homes repaired and make them habitable again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SupervisorAlejo/status/1634587081694674946\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alejo said the evacuations are continuing and that residents who didn’t leave last night are being escorted out, with vehicles provided by the National Guard and the Salinas Police Department. “We were trying to prepare our residents to be ready for this worst-case scenario. And that moment, unfortunately, has arrived,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alejo has already reached out to Gov. Gavin Newsom and the White House, as well as local and state legislators. “When you have flooding, people cannot just return to their homes, because water creates a lot of damage,” Alejo said. “Moisture creates a risk of health hazards such as mold. And so we know that we’re going to need to provide alternative housing in the long run for these residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11943357\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11943357\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/IMG_0103-800x600.jpeg\" alt='A flooded street with cars and houses and brown water, a sign that says \"No Outlet\"' width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/IMG_0103-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/IMG_0103-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/IMG_0103-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/IMG_0103-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/IMG_0103-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/IMG_0103-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A flooded Bafp Drive in Watsonville, March 11, 2023. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Martha Victoria Vega)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He also said emergency staff are predicting another major atmospheric river storm for Tuesday, meaning that the evacuation and the flooding of the Pajaro River are likely to continue for several days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jonathan Linden, reporter for KAZU in Monterey County, said he drove into town on Salinas Road at 2 a.m. When he attempted to drive back the same way less than an hour later, it was submerged in water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A county spokesperson told me the entire town is under some level of water, but we can’t say exactly how much,” said Linden in an interview with KQED on Saturday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Linden said he also spoke with residents on the Watsonville side of the river, which hasn’t flooded.

His house flooded, and so did his car, which he would have needed to get to work. Now, he thinks he’ll have no work. And, he’s worried about theft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After we returned two months ago, I came back to the house, and there was a lot of vandalism, they stole the tires from my car,” Calderon said, in Spanish. “Let [the police] protect us at least now that we are outside so that there is not so much robbery because we have our things there. It’s not so much about the water, but rather our belongings, the little that we have, inside.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite evacuation orders, some families and residents chose not to leave their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really sad to see that people didn’t evacuate last night,” said Alfredo Torres, a local insurance agent and Pajaro resident. “They didn’t heed the warnings and people chose to stay. I understand in a community like ours, there’s not a whole lot of housing. So it is limited where people can go, as it is in a highly populated area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres said the levee system had “never been built to capacity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was built back in the ’40s, and I think the bigger problem is just that there’s been a lack of focus on maintenance to better it,” he said. “Some [projects] were supposed to be coming down the pipeline soon, but not soon enough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Built in 1949, the Pajaro River’s levees have broken several times in the past decades, causing flooding and widespread damage to communities. In 1995, flooding from broken levees left two people dead and thousands of acres of farmland underwater, and caused close to $100 million in damage. In 2022, a state law was passed to advanced state funds for a levee project. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11943355\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11943355\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Alfredo_Torres_2-800x450.jpeg\" alt=\"An aerial view of a flooded river overflowing into two sides of the town with a bridge going over it.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Alfredo_Torres_2-800x450.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Alfredo_Torres_2-1020x574.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Alfredo_Torres_2-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Alfredo_Torres_2-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Alfredo_Torres_2-1920x1080.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Alfredo_Torres_2.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The flooded Pajaro River on March 11, 2023. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Alfredo Torres)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office, North Monterey County Fire and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) said in a statement on March 1 that they are currently assisting community members who did not evacuate earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California National Guard said they conducted 56 rescues of people who were stranded by the flooding throughout the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CalGuard/status/1634582211239505920\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://montereyco.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=905a9458324b4868804d96b5593eb978\">Up-to-date road closures and evacuation maps can be found here.\u003c/a> The \u003ca href=\"https://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/\">Caltrans QuickMap\u003c/a> app also provides up-to-date information on road closures and openings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weather-related \u003ca class=\"c-link\" href=\"https://gis.data.ca.gov/datasets/CalEMA::cumulative-statewide-power-outages-public-view-2/explore?layer=2&location=37.024088%2C-119.404500%2C6.62\">power outages\u003c/a> affected more than 17,000 customers in Monterey County late Saturday, according to Cal OES.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The County of Monterey has been advising residents of Pajaro to not use tap water for drinking and cooking until further notice, saying that wells for the Pajaro/Sunny Mesa water district were flooded and that “flood water may be contaminated with chemicals that would not be made safe by boiling or disinfection.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents in the evacuation zone in need of help should call 911 immediately.

So for me, growing up in the farmworker camp was a perfectly normal experience. I didn't realize that was in any ways kind of unusual or out of the norm until I began attending school. Not realizing just how low-income we were, until we started getting out to school and into the surrounding community a bit more and realizing other people have indoor plumbing when they go to the toilet. Other people have telephones in their house. And those are things that we did not have in the farmworker camps at that time in the early '70s. As I got older, I began to realize that we were pretty marginal, like not just because we were on the margins of town, out in the middle of the agricultural fields, but also we were socioeconomically marginal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a sense of the camps being like small villages. People knew each other. We often worked side by side. Some of the families were there just temporarily for harvest season. Other families like mine or my grandparents' family were there year-round doing the work that's necessary to keep the farm and the ranch going throughout the year. So, it had a transitory quality to it in many ways, and it also had a real kind of a sense of community and connection.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On growing up queer in rural California\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As I wrote the book, I was really thinking a lot about what it means to be a queer kid, but to not have language for that yet, not ... to not understand what that means. The way I experienced it as a small child was just, I had feelings. I had attractions. I had a certain fascination with other boys in school, but I didn't have a name for what was happening yet. As I moved further through elementary school, I quickly learned that queer was a \"bad\" thing. I learned that lesson pretty quickly. If that's what you are, you are going to be ostracized, terrorized. But [at] the age that Gordo [is], the main character, who is my avatar, [he] doesn't have language or a framework quite yet. He just has these feelings, and he just has this dawning understanding that being different can be really perilous.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On the theme of machismo in the book and parallels with his own childhood\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Most of these stories are overwhelmingly based on real things that happened. My father [really] bought me boxing gear. Looking back on that gesture, I really felt a lot of compassion for my father in that moment because he grew up in a world where he lost his father when he was a very small child and had to go out and work in the world to support the family. From the time he was 4 or 5 years old, he was out selling newspapers by himself in Mexicali. He experienced the need to survive and to fight, to physically fight. So the way he understood the world was that the possibility [and risk] of physical combat was always present. So if you're going to take care of your son, you need to have him be prepared for that. I think he looked at me and I was this kind of quiet, artistic, kind of shy kid, and he was thinking, I got to toughen this kid up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he bought this boxing gear. There's a tragicomic element to that because it really shows the complete inability parents sometimes have to just really see their child for who they are, as opposed to seeing them for who you want them to be. It could not have been a less appropriate gift, because this child had no combativeness in him. Of course, the boy in his queerness, he's unpacking all this boxing and wrestling gear, and the thing that really excites him is the jump rope because he's a sissy boy and he likes jumping rope! A complete thwarting of the intention of the gift, which was to me where the tragic comedy of the whole story lies — when we get our wires crossed this way with each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11901391\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/Jaime-Cortez-author-pic-by-Mark-Smotroff-4-in.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11901391\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/Jaime-Cortez-author-pic-by-Mark-Smotroff-4-in-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"A man wearing glasses and navy blue shirt.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/Jaime-Cortez-author-pic-by-Mark-Smotroff-4-in-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/Jaime-Cortez-author-pic-by-Mark-Smotroff-4-in-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/Jaime-Cortez-author-pic-by-Mark-Smotroff-4-in-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/Jaime-Cortez-author-pic-by-Mark-Smotroff-4-in-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/Jaime-Cortez-author-pic-by-Mark-Smotroff-4-in.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jaime Cortez, author of the new short story collection 'Gordo,' set in a migrant farmworker camp in Watsonville in the 1970s. \u003ccite>(Mark Smotroff)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>On the significance of Vicente Fernández's song 'Volver, Volver' in the book\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Vicente Fernández often gets compared to Elvis Presley, but I don't think that's quite accurate.

So for me, growing up in the farmworker camp was a perfectly normal experience. I didn't realize that was in any ways kind of unusual or out of the norm until I began attending school. Not realizing just how low-income we were, until we started getting out to school and into the surrounding community a bit more and realizing other people have indoor plumbing when they go to the toilet. Other people have telephones in their house. And those are things that we did not have in the farmworker camps at that time in the early '70s. As I got older, I began to realize that we were pretty marginal, like not just because we were on the margins of town, out in the middle of the agricultural fields, but also we were socioeconomically marginal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a sense of the camps being like small villages. People knew each other. We often worked side by side. Some of the families were there just temporarily for harvest season. Other families like mine or my grandparents' family were there year-round doing the work that's necessary to keep the farm and the ranch going throughout the year. So, it had a transitory quality to it in many ways, and it also had a real kind of a sense of community and connection.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On growing up queer in rural California\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As I wrote the book, I was really thinking a lot about what it means to be a queer kid, but to not have language for that yet, not ... to not understand what that means. The way I experienced it as a small child was just, I had feelings. I had attractions. I had a certain fascination with other boys in school, but I didn't have a name for what was happening yet. As I moved further through elementary school, I quickly learned that queer was a \"bad\" thing. I learned that lesson pretty quickly. If that's what you are, you are going to be ostracized, terrorized. But [at] the age that Gordo [is], the main character, who is my avatar, [he] doesn't have language or a framework quite yet. He just has these feelings, and he just has this dawning understanding that being different can be really perilous.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On the theme of machismo in the book and parallels with his own childhood\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Most of these stories are overwhelmingly based on real things that happened.

A large section of downtown Santa Cruz — comprised of unreinforced masonry buildings — was destroyed, as were scores of homes and buildings in nearby Watsonville. Seven people in Santa Cruz County were killed by the quake and more than 800 were injured.

Why?'[/pullquote]PPIC calculated poverty rates using the California Poverty Measure, which, unlike federal poverty statistics, take into account geographical differences in the cost of housing within the state — one of the major factors behind economic instability in Santa Cruz and the Bay Area. The organization analyzed statistics from 2014-2016, the most recent data available. It expects to release updated numbers within the coming weeks, but demographers don’t expect Santa Cruz County, with a child poverty rate of 27.2%, to gain much ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the nine-county Bay Area, Marin and Napa counties had the worst child poverty rates — tied at 22.2% — followed by San Mateo at 21%, according to PPIC. Contra Costa County had the lowest child poverty rate, at 16.9%. Santa Clara County was slightly higher at 17.1% and Alameda County’s rate was 18.6%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even for families that are able to make rent or pay a mortgage, the high cost of housing in Santa Cruz County may put a strain on their ability to pay for other basic necessities, like food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things that we are seeing is that people who would be considered middle class come in and use our services,” said Suzanne Willis, development and marketing officer at the Second Harvest Food Bank in Santa Cruz. The group serves roughly 55,000 people per month — half of whom are children. “We are in this area where we have low wages and a super high cost of living, and it’s making it hard for any family to survive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='childhood-poverty' label='Related Coverage']Social safety net programs may not capture all families who need support. To be eligible for CalFresh, the state’s primary food assistance program, a household of four needs to earn less than $4,184 per month. Households making more could find themselves caught between the cracks: Earning too much to be considered poor by official poverty metrics, but not enough to make ends meet after spending the bulk of their incomes on housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just the cost of shelter that can put families over the edge, Willis said. “The cost of food is high, gas is high, the rising cost of health care. So many families are just one layoff or illness away from financial disaster. It’s just a difficult place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beserra is enrolled in CalFresh but also regularly stops by the food bank to pick up produce and other items she can’t afford with her food stamps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the food bank has been a “lifeline” that has helped relieve the economic pressures placed on the family. Though she knows they have a tough road ahead, she’s more relaxed now than when she first found out they would have to move out of the three-bedroom house they were renting. She’s bringing her dog and cat to the ranch and found someone to adopt her 7-year-old goldfish once they relocate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m kind of at peace,” Beserra said. “I’m restful now compared to the way I was a couple months ago.

The organization analyzed statistics from 2014-2016, the most recent data available.

To be eligible for CalFresh, the state’s primary food assistance program, a household of four needs to earn less than $4,184 per month.
