This is the first major breach of the levee since 1998.
The Salinas River, which runs south to north, continues to move towards the bay, flooding low-lying areas in the Salinas Valley
The Pajaro levee breached Saturday morning, flooding the community and forcing thousands to evacuate.
Businesses in the Pajaro community are finally back open Wednesday, after being closed for a week due to mandatory evacuations. Small, owned bakeries, markets, and automotive shops are all paying the price of being closed for a long period of time.
The evacuation warning includes areas south of the Pajaro River.
