*****************************************************
An ARkStorm (for Atmospheric River 1000 Storm) is a hypothetical but scientifically realistic "megastorm" scenario developed and published by the United States Geological Survey, Multi Hazards Demonstration Project (MHDP). It describes an extreme storm that might impact much of California causing up to $725 billion in losses (most caused by flooding), and affect a quarter of California's homes. The event would be similar to exceptionally intense California storms which occurred between December 1861 and January 1862.[1] The name "ARkStorm" means "Atmospheric River (AR) 1000 (k)."

Water so deep need a big boat.
What next? Sharkanado IV?
What the He!! is an ARkStorm?>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Its weather propaganda to make people believe in climate change.
But Noah ain’t biting.
The SKY is NOT falling despite Chicken Little’s pronouncements.
People in California simply need to prepare.
I would say “hypothetical” only in the details. We know these are common events, viewed on any kind of time scale at all.
We know how to mitigate at least some of this, but (with kudo’s to Babylon 5 for most if not all of the original thought), instead we have a case of:
Analyze problem.
Develop solution.
Do the opposite.
Its weather propaganda to make people believe in climate change.
No, it's a reenactment of a fairly common event, allowing for the much bigger human population that will be affected when (not if) it happens.
People in California simply need to prepare.
Other than evacuating, how does one living there prepare for the Central Valley as a large lake?
My guess is money was probably allocated for flood control in Calif. and its anyone’s guess where it actually went.Democrat control of states and cities yield catastrophes over and over.

.................
California negligently failed to make preparations for the inevitable end to a major drought which had been occurring since 2011. For 12 years, environmental groups had warned federal and state officials that the dam was likely to experience structural issues in the event of heavy rains and flooding. Reports are surfacing that the large pothole which has lead to the failure of the Oroville dam spillway was known to the state governmet since 2013. Governor Jerry Brown had years to direct the Democrat controlled state government to authorize funding and enact plans for repairs to the dam while water levels remained low. The Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014 set aside $395,000,000 for flood management, but to date has not allocated any of it to actual repairs or projects, raising questions about where the money currently sits and what it has been used for since 2014.
Happy hour in the keys 30 years ago.....
Ok, I want to get this straight with no errors. Are you saying that they have their heads up each OTHERS arses or up their OWN arses? Big difference and totally different picture in my mind. One is a very tight short circle and one is a very long line or a very large circle culminating at Gov Browns arse.......
Also, when disconnecting ones said head from the arse circle, the popping sound would be just a tad different. Think about it because I do not have time to go into details right now, my grits are ready.
I say let them eat cake and find the money to plan for it. Build on a hill or something, crIIkey......
If you know it is going to flood then do not build there, moron.
Monkey got sense, that is why he lives in a tree by the river and not on a rock by the side of it.
Did Governor Brown lift the yard watering ban in time to avert this disaster?
Water is an equal opportunity force. It does not care if you are here legally or illegally.
Large volumes of water seeking lower ground, like President Trump, is not to be trifled with.
Problem is everywhere you have liberal/dem leadership from NYC to Chicago, Calif to the new surrender state/sanctuary state of Conn. you have eventual collapse.It happens everywhere.
You can tell this isn’t #FakeNews because they didn’t blame either “Climate Change” *OR* President Trump.
Q. What happens when California floods out?
A. CalifornIANS flood other states, turning them blue.
Well, maybe. Let's think this out.
The liberals in CA are concentrated in Sacramento, and on the coast. The Central Valley is more conservative. So all the conservatives will leave, but all the parasites which invest Sacramento will stay, since they don't wish to give up their power.
So presumably these floods will wash out the few remaining conservatives from California, while wrecking its economy, turning it into Venezuela north.
And all that water can't be good for the stability of the tectonic plates, which primarily affect...the Coast.
And the resultant earthquakes will take out LA and San Fran.
Leaving an empty state suitable for recolonization by *sane* people...who can vote out the Communists and looney tunes who are left in Sacramento.
But if any of my suppositions or intervening steps are wrong, this does not hold.
