The evacuation order for the areas south of Woodward Avenue and west of S. Airport Way has been lifted. According to the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services, homeowners residing in those areas are now allowed to return home but are encouraged to remain ready to evacuate in the event that the situation changes. Road closures will still remain in effect for Perrin Road, McMullin Road, Mortensen Road and Airport Court – all of which provide access to the San Joaquin River and are being used in the fight to prevent extensive flooding from damaging homes and properties south of the Highway 120 Bypass.
