DALY CITY — Authorities say a broken water main is to blame for a flood in a Daly City neighborhood that left vehicles stuck in mud up to their wheel wells.
The break early Tuesday morning unleashed tens of thousands of gallons of water from a city-owned reservoir on a nearby hill. The torrent brought mud from the hillside down to the area below.
Television news footage showed at least one street caked in mud, with several vehicles completely packed in. Homes in the area were also evacuated for several hours, as crews made sure the hillside was stable and posed no threat.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that no homes were damaged.
