San Jose, Calif. (NBC News Channel) — Flood waters continued to rise as the sun rose over San Jose, California Wednesday.

At least 14,000 residents have been evacuated from their homes as the water level rose.

The waters have forced the closure of a major highway, submerged cars and flooded homes.

The rain has stopped for now, but flood warnings are expected to stay intact through Saturday morning.
