DELANO, Calif. (KGET) — A new evacuation center was set up in Delano just in time for a rain storm this week that could potentially cause flooding and mandatory evacuations in McFarland and surrounding areas. This comes less than a week after the same areas were hit with a storm that forced many residents to evacuate their homes as floodwaters rose. Last week, McFarland was one of the areas most affected by the flooding. Fortunately, residents were able to seek shelter at Horizon Elementary School in the town, however, it has since been closed due to school activity.
