San Jose drowns: 50,000 people are told to leave their homes as entire neighborhoods sink under water after worst floods for 100 years

    50,000 people were told to leave their homes in San Jose after Coyote Creek burst its banks on Tuesday
    14,000 residents are subject to a mandatory order while the rest have been given an advisory to leave 
    Fire fighters woke residents in the middle of the night by banging on their doors to tell them to leave
    Some were rescued from their drowning homes in dinghies to be taken out of the danger zone
    Coyote Creek runs through Silicon Valley from the San Francisco Bay and rose to 13.6ft on Tuesday
    The floods are the latest in a string of emergency situations triggered by severe winter weather in California
