As a result of yesterday's flash flood warnings being lifted, San Luis Obispo community members are no longer advised to shelter in place.
Businesses in the area don't need floodgates, but it is asked by the city to still have them available and ready if the situation changes.
While there is a lull in rainfall this morning, a flood watch and wind advisory are still in effect.
Some roads remain closed due to high water:

City officials encourage community members to be aware of their surroundings. They ask that people do not drive on flooded roads.
The community is also advised to prepare for possible thunderstorms, be aware of public safety advisories, and be watchful of roadway warning signage.
All public counters at City facilities - including City Hall, Utilities Department, SLOPD, CDD, etc. - are closed today as many City staff are assisting with storm response work.
