Still reeling under an onslaught of powerful storms and destructive floods, California is bracing up for another round of heavy rains in the coming days which is likely to inundate the state. While heavy rains in the region have led to thousands being displaced and evacuated from their homes, the flooding has also left large stretches of roads and highways submerged beneath patches of water. Several videos of the flood-affected roads are going viral on social media showing the aftermath of heavy rains. In one such video which has been gaining traction, a man tried to make the best of his experience after he found a big fish on a flooded road.
Shared by Now This News, the video from Watsonville opens up to show a man coming out of his car to pull a nearly two-foot-long fish out of the water and show off to others in the traffic.
