CBS San Francisco Bay Area recently covered a story on a group of Petaluma men who are declared heroes after when they won the battle to protect their homes in Thursday’s big storm.
The article goes on to say:
For 24 hours, rescuers saved residents as mobile home parks all over the Bay Area flooded, one after another.
The Leisure Lake Village Mobile Home Park, for seniors 55 and over, in flood-prone Petaluma didn’t need saving. It was hit hard, certainly, but it was not flooded. That’s because a group of men, who ranged from 75 to 80-years-old banded together and saved the trailer park themselves.
The men spent some 48 hours cleaning out clogged storm drains and making sure there was never a chance for rain to accumulate. They worked in shifts, walking the grounds, checking for standing water and from the looks of it, they succeeded.
