Peninsula Women Collect Needed Supplies For Still Recovering Pajaro Residents

CBS San Francisco

PAJARO, CA —In Monterey County, the town of Pajaro reached a milestone in their storm clean-up Monday as the community continues its long, slow struggle to recover from catastrophic flooding.

It's been about a month and a half since a levee breached and flooded the town. Monday marked the last day for phase one of the clean-up process which involved clearing out debris from flood damaged homes through curbside pick-ups. But people are still trying to pick up the pieces in this small farming community. As they do so, they're getting some help from families on the Peninsula.

When Adelaide Nye saw the news of the devastating flooding in Pajaro that uprooted peoples' lives in a matter of minutes, her immediate reaction was, "Someone should do something about this."
