FELTON GROVE, Calif. (KION-TV) - The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office issued an evacuation order Thursday morning for the Felton Grove area, zone FEL-E008. Officials say this is due to the threat of flooding along the San Lorenzo River.

Their warning says, "We are urging residents to evacuate immediately and move to higher ground. Heavy rains, and runoff have prompted evacuation orders for parts of Santa Cruz County.
