Monday's storm has caused problems for people all around the Bay Area. Some were small, like a man who had to ride his bike through rising water, and others big, like a rescue of people stranded in Coyote Creek due to those same rising floodwaters. In San Jose, weeks of rainfall are causing a problem they haven't seen in years - flooding along Coyote Creek. The 911 call came from an island in the middle of the creek. "The water was rising on both sides of a piece of land that they used to be able to walk to," San Jose Fire Dept. Capt. Mitch Matlow said. "It became an island, it wasn't an island a week ago."
