Drone video shows flooding on the Salinas River in Monterey County.

SALINAS, CA (KGO) — Massive flooding in Monterey County prompted evacuations throughout the area.

ABC7 drone footage shows that the area south of Salinas – along River Road and next to Chualar River Road – is rapidly filling with water. The Salinas River overflowed its banks, and many agricultural fields were under water.

The bridge over the Chualar River is closed by Caltrans due to fears that the water will rise too high. A fast rescue boat from the Oakland Fire Department is in the area and ready to help with the flood evacuation.
