What the He!! is an ARkStorm?
Thought this might be interesting!
People are gonna die because the governor and others won’t pull their heads out of their a##es
And it’s sad.
Enviro wackos wont be the only ones to die.
This is bad.
There are photos from the early 20th century of parts of Orange County, before the Santa Ana River was confined to manmade levees.
Heavy rains meant flooding across low areas from Newport Back Bay, to Seal Beach.
That included vegetable farms in Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Westminster etc.
Bookmarked.
Not one mention of the north coast MEGA FLOOD OF 1964. Damage in todays dollars would be in the billions. Entire towns were obliterated never to be rebuilt. Bridges and roads were washed away and about 100 miles of the railroad including tunnels slipped into the Eel River...
Thanks for the great post.
I lived in SO Cal in the 60’s, went in the Army in ‘69 at Ft Ord near Salinas. The rains, flooding were unrelenting that year. North and south.
For later reference. Great Post, Ernie!
What next? Sharkanado IV?
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.
You can tell this isn’t #FakeNews because they didn’t blame either “Climate Change” *OR* President Trump.
Pertinent fact. The article is about the storm of 1861. That was 151 years ago.
The design criteria probably consider the 100 year flood plain event. That means failure of structures designed for the recent events can be overcome by the 150 year event that is much more severe.
In effect, by designing for the 100 year event and saving money, the 150 year event will eliminate the savings. Unfortunately, California is broke and can’t weather the financial storm wrought by the 150 year event
It was those wealthy Californians with their horse-drawn SUVs and their choo-choo trains that caused this.
PING!
