Water also pushed in to Kendrick Ma's garage. He worried his beloved Lamborghini Gallardo sports car could be ruined.
"We were pretty worried. We all came out with brooms, shoving all the water out of the garage," Ma said. Highway 101 -- a major freeway connecting San Francisco to the Peninsula -- was completely shutdown by flooding for much of the day.
