Residents of the Tannery Arts Center lofts were on storm watch last week, as the San Lorenzo River, which runs right behind their residences, continued to rise. During the height of the storm, the river was rising about one foot per hour, according to Warren Reed, director of property management for The John Stewart Company, which oversees the Tannery property. Management asked all residents to evacuate their vehicles from the parking lot in the 1030 building on Wednesday at 2 p.m., as the river was within two feet of the level. Tannery residents were able to return their cars to the garage the following day, when the river was steadily dropping. Â Pictured here is the view of the overflowing river from an above Tannery loft.
