When was that?
LOL! Love it!
California needs to build more reservoirs!
How much of their rainfall just goes into the Pacific?
1982 AND 1983!
1983 was deeper.
San Jose claimed 1982 as a “100 year event” and assured everyone it would not happen again.
1983 was much deeper and the flood gates were still rusted shut, no effort had been made to free them after the 1982 flood.
But the county commissioners names are engraved in Granite at the terminus of the Light Rail system.
Kleptocracy priorities!
And the morons runnung the state are letting it all go into the Pacific ocean.
Fascinating!
Thanks for the info.

From Wiki:
“ The Great Flood of 1862 was the largest flood in the recorded history of Oregon, Nevada, and California, occurring from December 1861 to January 1862. It was preceded by weeks of continuous rains and snows in the very high elevations that began in Oregon in November 1861 and continued into January 1862. This was followed by a record amount of rain from January 9–12, and contributed to a flood that extended from the Columbia River southward in western Oregon, and through California to San Diego, and extended as far inland as Idaho in the Washington Territory, Nevada and Utah in the Utah Territory, and Arizona in the western New Mexico Territory. The event dumped an equivalent of 10 feet (3.0 m) of water in California, in the form of rain and snow, over a period of 43 days.[3][4] Immense snowfalls in the mountains of far western North America caused more flooding in Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, as well as in Baja California and Sonora, Mexico the following spring and summer, as the snow melted.”
