A storm that is pouring large amounts of rainfall on the Central Coast is flooding roads across the region and forcing many to close.
In San Luis Obispo, San Luis Bay is Dr. closed from Highway 101 to Monte Rd. However, some drivers plowed through the rising waters.
Yes, this is NOT what you are supposed to do when roads are flooded and closed. While we were on San Luis Bay Dr, many drivers turned around … but we saw one drive across the flooded lane to get to Monte Rd. pic.twitter.com/HU1tNbOKN7

The closure began Thursday morning just before 8 p.m.
Just south, floodwaters also closed large passages in the Santa Maria-Guadalupe area.
Near Orcutt, Caltrans Highway 1 closes between Solomon Rd. and Swartweg. That closure can last most of the day.

Black Rd. was also closed at the Stowell intersection in Santa Maria.
Floods force the connection and closure of Highway 1 near Guadalupe at Dominion Rd.
