Description
Twenty-five Afghan refugee families living at an apartment complex on Delta Street were forced to evacuate Monday during San Diego's historic flooding.
"My wife called me and was crying, 'The flooding [has] happened, please come early,'" said Zianuddin Zia.
He said he rushed home to get to his wife and three children, including a baby who is just 10 days old. He said it was initially difficult to get to his first floor apartment because the flood waters were so high.
The family was able to make it out safely.
