The atmospheric mechanisms behind the storms of 1861-62 are unknown; however, the storms were [b]likely the result of an intense atmospheric river[/b], or a series of atmospheric rivers, striking the U.S. West Coast. [b]With the right preconditions, just one intense atmospheric river hitting the Sierra Nevada mountain range east of Sacramento could bring devastation to the Central Valley of California[/b]. An independent panel wrote in October 2007 to California’s Department of Water Resources, “California’s Central Valley faces significant flood risks. [b]Many experts feel that the Central Valley is the next big disaster waiting to happen[/b]. This fast-growing region in the country’s most populous state, the Central Valley encompasses the [b]floodplains of two major rivers—the Sacramento and the San Joaquin[/b]—as well as additional rivers and tributaries that drain the Sierra Nevada. Expanding urban centers lie in floodplains where flooding could result in extensive loss of life and billions in damages.
