This city manager worries that if a megastorm hits California, it could wipe out his entire city. He's urging state and federal officials to invest more in flood prevention before it's too late.
While they used to occur every 100-200 years on average, rising temperatures mean we'll now see them as often as every 50 years.
Gallegos is worried that bigger cities will be the focus of flood-prevention spending before a megastorm, rather than his city of around 8,500 people. Residents of Firebaugh are worried by the prospect of a megastorm hitting, especially after a previous evacuation due to a flood in 1997 didn't go well.
