Great. Now I have to do a controlled study that will take years and cost thousands.

Or I could just watch the Human Centipede :)

Two notable things (well more than 2) in your post.

1. Environmental groups were actually trying to do the right thing, though I would guess it wasn’t the fringe groups.

2. 400 million is a lot of ####ing money!!!!!!

That’s disgusting. But with sanctuary cities to worry about, it’s no big deal /s

ARkStorm—soon to be two hours of over the top drama on the Sci-Fi channel.

Don't you mean The Weather Channel?

I also noticed that it’s by the USGS not NOAA.

People build in natural disaster prone areas and then complain when one happens.

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

I hate to think what the water cops would do to those two today.

Other than evacuating, how does one living there prepare for the Central Valley as a large lake? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Run around in circles yelling the sky is falling.

A couple of clippings of the North Coast flood of 1964. The biggest loss of life came when two of these helicopters crashed in the fog…

It was those wealthy Californians with their horse-drawn SUVs and their choo-choo trains that caused this.

PING!

Well, officials could get their heads out of their butts and beef up their water infrastructure.
