During recent rains the creek’s water *rose a hundred feet*, forcing them to move their tents to the nearby lawn.
Oh, don't be stupid. Does anybody at The Guardian fact-check anymore? 100 feet is ten stories. The entirety of central San Jose would be underwater.
During the last actual flood in 2017, Coyote Creek floodstage was 9 feet, and a neighborhood flooded, at 9.9 feet (less than a foot over flood stage). Flooding ten times higher than that would require thousands of times as much water. It would be news worldwide.
Math isn't that hard.
