MERCED, Calif. - Two levees broke Tuesday in California's chief agricultural region, flooding a trailer park and threatening other homes in Merced and inundating farmland near Sacramento.

Rain has saturated Northern California for the past month and more is expected over the next several days.

Water breached a 30-foot section of levee along a creek in Merced, sending water pouring through a mobile home park, said Michael Miller, a spokesman for the Department of Water Resources.

San Francisco had a record 25 days of rain in March. Oakland, San Rafael and Santa Rosa also broke rainy-day records in March. Sacramento received 5.29 inches of rain in March, nearly 2 1/2 inches more than average, according to the
National Weather Service.

1. Trailer Park?

Those poor people are doomed.


It's been raining fairly steady here in Los Angeles all day. We usually get this kind of weather earlier in the year with early March being the final blow out... March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb... I think LA will be the new Seattle before long.
