Faulty Valley Water sensor leads to erroneous Nat'l Weather Service flood warning for Los Gatos Creek. A similar warning was issued in the North Bay.
"So why would they do that? I guess that’s the question…why would they put something out that…I mean, if they’re gonna put an announcement out like that, maybe they should have some justification or reinforcement of the information on that," said Robert Lira, who was walking along the creek-side trail during his lunch break.
"A carryover glitch occurred, causing a multiplier effect," which caused the numbers to be exaggerated. He said the problem occurred as his agency was recalibrating flood sensors along Los Gatos Creek, near Lark Avenue, in Los Gatos. Water level reporting times are typically adjusted when it’s not raining, to better predict trouble during the rainy season, when residents are in danger of flood conditions.
