A week after storms flooded parts of the region and covered some roads with several feet of water; officials are reminding drivers that they should not, despite how safe they think they might be, try to drive a car through a flooded street.

 

“Please do not drive around the barricades, they are there for a reason,” San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer said at a news conference Monday. “When you see some of that standing water and you’re not sure how deep it is, do not drive around the barricades.”
