Communities Prepare for Floods from Melting Snow' data-article-id='6458'><script src='//news-app-staging.herokuapp.com/javascripts/getscripts.js'></script><link rel='stylesheet'

received unusually large amounts of rain and snow. </span> <span data-start-time='11563' data-end-time='23563'>Now, people worry that some areas will flood as the snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains melts.</span> <span data-start-time='23563' data-end-time='34500'>Ron Caetano lives about half-way between the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. </span> <span data-start-time='34500' data-end-time='43333'>He is preparing to leave in case his community, called the Island District, floods.</span> <span data-start-time='43333' data-end-time='53688'>“The water is coming this way,” said Caetano, who started a Facebook group to help organize his neighbors. </span> <span data-start-time='53688' data-end-time='62333'>“I am preparing for the worst and praying for the best and that’s all we can do.”</span> <span data-start-time='62333' data-end-time='73000'>More than 100 years ago, the Island District area was under a large lake named Tulare Lake. </span> <span data-start-time='73000' data-end-time='81583'>At one time, Tulare Lake was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River. </span> <span data-start-time='81583' data-end-time='90646'>But dams and watering systems for agriculture caused it to disappear. </span> <span data-start-time='90646' data-end-time='98979'>However, in very rainy years, farmland can still get covered with water.</span> <span data-start-time='98979' data-end-time='111771'>Experts say reservoirs near the area will likely receive three times more water than they can hold this year. </span> <span data-start-time='111771' data-end-time='120813'>That means officials must increase the amount of water they release from the reservoirs. </span> <span data-start-time='120813' data-end-time='127458'>If too much water is released, the area might flood.</span> <span data-start-time='127458' data-end-time='135083'>The Island District has organized a community network to help prepare for floods. </span> <span data-start-time='135083' data-end-time='143563'>People are placing sandbags on elderly neighbors’ property to block possible flooding. </span> <span data-start-time='143563' data-end-time='153375'>And they are looking at reports from water officials, county officials, and from each other.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky'
