Residents return to Peninsula mobile home park after flooding

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (KGO) -- There's lots of cleanup underway across the state after Thursday's powerful storm.

On Saturday, residents of a mobile home park in Redwood City returned home throughout the day after flood waters swamped their neighborhood Thursday.

City workers helped finish draining the property on Bayshore Road.

Officials issued a mandatory evacuation order Friday night because of the gases and dirt inside the water.

"I was pretty scared after the fire department evacuated my neighbors," said one resident. "It was really amazing to see the waters carry heavy items. I saw chairs floating by, saw my heavy stairs."

With more rain expected this week, residents say they'll be ready.
