In Tulare County, a farm region in the San Joaquin Valley, the Success Lake reservoir reached its capacity, forcing officials to release water through the Schafer Dam spillway and ordering evacuations downstream.Tulare County sheriff’s deputies will be going door-to-door, urging people to “stay clear and out of the river areas and to avoid getting near the waterways,” officials said.
