Description
South Bay communities are dealing with the nasty aftermath of this week's storm after massive amounts of sewage and trash flooded the Tijuana River Valley at unprecedented levels.
The storm sent more than 14.5 billion gallons of untreated raw sewage into California from Mexico, levels officials say have never been seen before.
“It is massive, it’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen. It’s a sea of trash," said Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre.
Acres of plastic bottles, containers, tires, and sewage are currently sitting in the Tijuana River Valley. All of it will eventually end up in our ocean, leaving those who live near by feeling the impact.
