the usgs can understand why those prediction failed. >> it's a lot of water. no one really knows how the channel is going to react, especially after multiple years of drought. it is chockful of rvegetation ad debris. that made it worse. >> reporter: was this predictable? >> i don't think anybody predicted this kind of result. when you're going into areas where you never had it before, you don't know what you're going to get. >> reporter: >> reporter: the usgs field manager said they were caught off guard. they were heading to alameda creek to take measurements there. once they realized anderson reservoir was pushing out so much water they sent technicians to their gauge in milpitas to take measurements. they were taking measurements every 15 minutes. this was well into the night, overnight and they are in that box suspended over the creek. this data a they provide when they have a human out here is to supplement the automatic sensor. sometimes those sensors fail, people don't. at least when it comes to taking measurements. reporting live in milpitas, bob redel

usgs is sending out folks to measure the flood gauges. our yardstick is that white car there. that's the car we have been watching since evacuation orders started tuesday. yesterday it was just below the line. now you can see it is halfway down the tires and just below the bumper. this is also the measurement that a lot of folks are watching as they come into the rock spring neighborhood near happy hollow park and zoo. hoping to get back in and salvage anything they could. they left with 25 minutes notice. some of them evacuating by boat. now, this goes against the city's advice because the water is contaminated with oil and gas and sewage. and so the mandatory evacuation orders are still in effect. they are telling people to stay out of the water. no word when they can return. we will tell you there is more rain on the horizon some we are urging people not to return to their homes in those mandatory evacuation areas. the water is not safe. we continue to monitor water flows to better understand what the waters will do in the coming days. and of course we are preparing for rai

geological survey, the usgs, an agency that lists climate change as one of its top mission areas. during his confirmation process, i asked congressman zinke if he would try to limit the usgs's work on climate change in any way. unfortunately, congressman zinke did not provide a definitive answer, only saying that he would need to learn more about the usgs's role in climate change research. his answer did not reassure me that he will allow usgs and other agencies in his department to continue to make climate change research a priority or to protect the right of these scientists to pursue their research without interference. this is particularly concerning in light of the trump administration's ongoing efforts to silence our federal workers, including those within the national park service who are speaking out about the threat of climate change. we need a secretary of interior who will protect our public lands, make investments to conserve our endangered and threatened species and who will continue to confront climate change. his record and past statements demonstrate that congressm

we tagged along with scientists from usgs as they collected data from coyote creek. they used a velocity meter to measure the depth and speed of the current which is then used to calculate the volume of water. they measured 8000 cubic feet per second, the highest ever. there was so much water, it damaged the depth markers. the usgs noticed this about all of the growth of trees and bushes in the creek beds. >> ironically, the drought is effectively closed. by having 5 years of drought, the vegetation filled up this channel. than the vegetation displace that water and made it higher than we expected. >> reporter: mayor sam accardo has also heard the vegetation theory but is skeptical for now. >> it is difficult to believe that a few trees would kind -- cause the kind of blockage that would result in the magnitude of flooding that we saw. >> the other big question, what caused the flooding at the mobile home park? the water has since been pumped away but it is unclear how it entered that spot to begin with. this is the spot where it flooded the banks and came up to the

right here in east pal according to the usgs, as you guys mentioned not too long ago a flood watch is in effect for this until this afternoon here in this area. we are live near the creek. >> and we see it is coming down steady. it's a sight we haven't seen in a decade or so. this is the first time since 2006. the beautiful sight, though, is bringing some very real concerns. water officials are pushing out water as fast as they can. the morgan hill office of emergency services is also advising people who live in the coyote estate the to consider sandbagging their homes. the santa clara water district is also warning neighborhoods during the various flee markets. the water district is also concerned about the rock springs neighborhood, that area around kelly park and the golden wheel mobile home park which flooded back in 1997, '98. the water district has since shored up that levy along coyote creek, which runs behind the mobile home park. the levy is expected to be tested over the next 24 hours. >> we should say many of our resvoires are being tested right now. the lektsing ton reserv

we're getting varying reports from the usgs.lready three feet above flood stage at 12 feet, making it at flood stage right now. early reports that it wasn't going to hit until earlier this afternoon. you may recall this is the same area where two cars plunged into the water last month. sadly, a woman was swept away and her body has still not been recovered. that is one area where there are very big concerns about flooding and slides. some residents are getting nervous with each passing storm as the ground is saturated. we spoke to a woman who sees all the rain as a mixed blessing. >> huge amount of earth that just keeps seeping through. on the one hand, i'm ready to see it stop. on the other hand, we've seen so much drought that i can't help but be glad. >>> keeping a close eye on our rivers and creeks. this is the guadalupe river. the banks there widening. another river that is expected to be near or possibly hit flood stage this morning. the flood stage is 13 feet for the guadalupe river. we're also watching the santa cruz mou

for the first time today, the usgs has some answers to that question. >> reporter: well, as residents work to dig through the rubble and pg&e works to restore power, the u.s. geological survey has been out doing science. this is still a swollen creek. in fact, it's higher than it's ever been before. one of the reasons that the evacuation order came so late is because we didn't know what would happen when the water got this high. now they are crunching the numbers to make sure they know what will happen if this ever occurs again. >> 20? >> 20. >> dangling over a cable of the russian water, surveyors are gathering data in literally what are unchartered waters. >> we might have known that the river was going to get as high as it was and they might have made a different decision. >> reporter: that's because coyote creek has never been this high. when all of that water led to flooding downstream, emergency managers say they were caught off guard. >> we weren't expecting to have issues at rock springs for many, many hours and we weren't expecting it to be the first place we had issues. >> r

the job of the usgs is to try to measure and provide the data. santa clara county water district along with noaa makes decisions because of that. they say they understand how people were caught off-guard and says it was tough. >> no one really knows how the channel will react, especially after multiple years of drought, the channel is chock-full of vegetation and debris. that just made it even worse. >> reporter: they say one of the things that made it hard is there's not a lot of historical data to go on to figure out how this creek overflowed. they say they'll develop methods to be able to monitor that and give people more information. that really is the chief complaint this evening, people saying they just didn't know this was going to happen. they woke up and it was too late to salvage anything. there are some people back in their homes tonight. they're assessing what they lost. nbc bay area's michelle roberts is in one of those neighborhoods not far from here. michelle, people are getting a good look at what's missing and what happened to th
