You've seen some of the damage that has been caused due to storms in 2023, but do you know who is behind cleaning it up? Here are the crews working to clear all the South Bay's damage from this year's storms.
Rain leads to flooded roads, clogged storm drains, potholes and snapped trees - the San Jose Department of Transportation's responsibility.
DOT Assistant Arborist Mark Frazier was responding to a broken tree limb hanging over a sidewalk when we caught up with him Monday. There's never a slow day. "It's been a lot this year," Frazier said. "We've got a lot of rain storms, which is good that we're getting the rain, we certainly need it with the drought. But, it's kept us very busy."

"It's part of what I like doing.
