FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- In Merced County, dozens of people in Le Grand are out of their homes due to massive flooding in the area.

"I've heard my whole life that this is a flood zone, and, years ago, the river wasn't too deep here. It's all river rock. So, Mother Nature let us know that we're in a low area," resident Michael McPherson said.

The Office of Emergency Services is prepared to open shelters if conditions get worse.
