    New evacuation orders were in place Sunday near two small central #California towns where a #levee was breached following recent downpours, as yet another winter storm brought the threat of major #flooding.

    The agricultural communities of #Alpaugh and #Allensworth, home to a total of about 1,400 people, were ordered to leave because of "the possibility of residents becoming isolated due to impassible roadways," the Tulare County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

    Flooding reported near historic Black town in Allensworth CA | The Fresno Bee

    A historic region founded by #African-#Americans in the #San #Joaquin #Valley escaped damage from floodwaters released when a nearby creek bank was #breached Saturday, officials said.

    Crews were working to stop flooding from Deer Creek near Road 88 just north of #Allensworth in southwestern #Tulare #County, according to Cal Fire spokesperson Jazz Shaw.

    Shaw said residents in the area were under a #flood #warning and not an evacuation order as of 2 p.m. Saturday.

    Where flooding could be seen, the water was roughly thigh-high, and roads leading to Allensworth from the north were blocked.

    Saturday morning, SJV Water reported in a tweet that Allensworth flooded sometime after 2:30 a.m. when someone used heavy equipment to breach the banks of Deer Creek at Road 88, letting the water out, saying it spoke to Deer Creek Flood District head Jack Mitchell.

    “A ‘cat and dozer’ that cut the banks of Deer (Creek) at Road 88 in (the) middle of the night have been tracked from the cut,” SJV Water tweeted. “The(y) lead toward Earlimart and police have been alerted.”
