On March 10-13, 1995, Monterey County experienced a second significant winter storm which resulted in sustained precipitation falling on already-saturated watersheds. Devastating flooding occurred throughout the county. In particular flooding of the Salinas, Carmel, and Pajaro Rivers forced mass evacuations in San Ardo, King City, Greenfield, Soledad, Gonzales, Chualar, Spreckles, the River Road and, parts of Salinas, Castroville, Moss Landing, Pajaro, and the Carmel Valley.

On March 10, 1995 a levee broke near San Vicente Elementary School. Of course, Soledad looked totally different then as all the new construction that now exists, were just empty fields. We had to evacuate the school and board our students onto buses and had to transport them to Main Street School, where parents picked them up. We'd like to share a little video of what occurred then. We continue to count our blessings. We are glad everyone is safe. We are sharing a short video as narrated by Retired Teacher, Mary Beth Orser as she narrated what was happening.
