After California’s deadly storms flooded towns and farmland, residents are struggling to recover

Farmworkers struggle after California's deadly storms

David Rodgers had barely driven one block from his central California home when floodwaters began to rise so high he could touch them with an outstretched hand. 

From behind the wheel of his wife’s small SUV, the commercial truck driver watched as cars in front of him slowly filled with water and then floated down the street. 

“It was like watching the Titanic, but you’re living it,” Rodgers said. 

He and his wife, his mother-in-law and three children panicked as a big rig drove past their car and its giant wake crashed over them. He tried to remain calm but his children were frantic. 

“One of the worst things you can hear from your child is them screaming ‘I don’t want to die! I don’t want to drown!'” he said.
