A 300 foot wide levee breach on the San Joaquin River near the confluence with the Stanislaus River south of Manteca floods about 4000 acres of corn, orchards and vineyards. Fifty families evacuated as emergency crews sandbag and lay plastic to prevent further spread. Officials warn high water could persist into June and July with more breaks possible along the swollen river system.
