See dramatic photos, video of flooded Highway 101 in SLO during storm
Highway 101 was under more than foot of water on Thursday, after a backed up drain flooded the heavily trafficked road through a part of San Luis Obispo, backing up traffic for miles.
As of Thursday evening, the northbound lanes of the highway have reopened, though the southbound lanes remain closed.
Travelers are advised to find an alternate route to their destination for the time being, as it is unclear when the highway will reopen.
Here are pictures and videos from the scene, showing the roadway under water.
