CAPITOLA, CA—

First of all.  I have actually visited Capitola, Ca.  Great community. Tight knit. Generations of families live within this beautiful seaside paradise.

But what a huge mess this area is now dealing with, and the worse may still lie ahead.

Call it a "living nightmare."

Thousands of residents are dealing with severe flooding, power outages, mud damage in their business district, and flooding of several hundred mobile homes, and more rains could be coming over the next couple of days to compound the situation.

On Saturday, an underground storm drain that transmits water from Noble Gulch Creek between Bay Avenue and Capitola Avenue failed at approximately 4:30 pm, thus sending massive  flood waters over the Pacific Cover Mobile Home Park and portions of Capitola Village.

The pipeline failure day lighted approximately 100’ of Noble Gulch Creek and caused significant
damage to Pacific Cove Mobile Home Park located next door to City Hall and the Capitola Police Department.

Several manufactured homes were significantly damaged and park residents have been directed to go to the Jade Street Park Community Center until a full evaluation of utilities, structures, and drainage facilities can be
completed. The Red Cross is prepared to assist residents impacted by the flood.

During the peak of the flood, the creek ran under the mobile homes undermining foundations and tearing off
porches. Flooding continued through the park and to Capitola Avenue causing flooding of the Police Department and businesses along Capitola Avenue. Flooding also occurred in Capitola Village and the area has been closed until further notice.

No estimate of the damage caused by the flood has been completed.

Soquel Creek is running very high with a significant amount of debris and large logs creating the potential for a
blockage at Stockton Bridge. The City of Capitola in coordination with regional agencies will continue to monitor the situation and take further action as issues arise.  Here are some incredible videos of the flooding in Capitola from a number of residents who live there.  Share you thoughts below this post!  Be safe.  More RAIN is on the way.





Capitola is built on the location of an Indian village that existed for more than a thousand years.Native inhabitants, known as the Soquel Indians, were removed to the Mission Santa Cruz when it was established in 1791. Nearly all traces of the Soquel “rancheria” and its culture vanished. In the Mexican Era that followed, the territory became part of the Soquel Rancho granted to Martina Castro and husband Michael Lodge in 1833.
