  "New mandatory evacuations have been issued overnight in San Jose as
   flooding continues to spread along Coyote Creek. The Emergency
   Operations Center says 36,000 people in San Jose are in the recommended
   area for evacuations and 14,000 are in the mandatory evacuation area.
   There are 346 people who have been rescued by boat, 250 of those
   rescues occurred yesterday and 96 were last night.
   The new order went out just after midnight in the area along Coyote
   Creek in the Coyote Creek 100 year Flood Zone, running from north I-280
   to south Hwy 101.
   The flooding has also triggered the closure of Hwy 101 in San Jose
   between I-880 and and the I-280/I-680 split. There is no estimate when
   lanes will reopen.
   Six schools in the mandatory evacuation area in San Jose will be closed
   today. The schools are: San Jose High School, Cristo Rey San Jose
   Jesuit High School, Rocketship Discovery Prep, Empire Gardens
   Elementary, McKinley Elementary and Olinder Elementary. "
