Thousands evacuated as flooding hits California

Authorities went door-to-door overnight ordering thousands to seek higher ground.

Rising floodwaters have sent at least 14,000 residents fleeing inundated homes in San Jose, California, and forced the closure of a major road.

The road was closed in both directions south of San Francisco because of water across lanes and officials said there was no estimate when the key commuter link into Silicon Valley would reopen.
