Floodwaters could strand Monterey County residents, turn peninsula into an island

All eyes will be on Monterey County, California, on Thursday and Friday as officials warn that flooding could cut off the Monterey Peninsula from the rest of the state and shut down major roadways, including Highways 1 and 68.

With more storms expected to hit Northern California and the rest of the state Friday, the Salinas River region is forecast to receive another 1 to 1.5 inches of rain and up to 2 more inches over the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

That could swell the river to one of the highest peak flood levels in its history.
