In the Great Flood of 1862, 1/4 of the real estate in the entire state of California was destroyed. The state went bankrupt as a result. Can you even begin to imagine the modern eqivalent?

Excerpt:

"The Great Flood of 1862 or Noachian Deluge 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 (or snows in the high elevations) that began in Oregon in November 1861 and continued into January 1862. This was followed by record quantitative precipitation in January 9-12th, which contributed to a flood which extended from the Columbia River southward in western Oregon and through California to San Diego, and extended as far inland as Idaho in Washington Territory, Nevada and Utah in Utah Territory and Arizona in western New Mexico Territory.


It was climaxed by a warmer, more intense storm with much more rain that was made more serious by the earlier large accumulation of snow, now melted by the rain in the lower elevations of the mountains. Throughout the affected area, all the streams and rivers rose to great heights, flooded the valleys, inundated or swept away towns, mills, dams, flumes, houses, fences, and domestic animals, and ruined fields. An early estimate of property damage was $10,000,000.[1] However, later it was estimated that approximately one-quarter of the taxable real estate in the state of California was destroyed in the flood. Dependent on property taxes, the State of California went bankrupt. The governor, state legislature, and state employees were not paid for a year and a half.[2]"

What can happen when an Arkstorm hits

An awful lot of food is going to be destroyed.

Hope you all in California have made a last run to the grocery store to stock up all you can.

The food production fields are going to be flooded and destroyed by water.

this

that means higher food prices for all of us, not just California

...and food prices were already going to be much higher next year after this past summer's record droughts

FWIW, This is happening all over the world:

Californians Told to Prepare for Series of Storms and Heavy Rain

California emergency officials warned residents to get ready for a series of windy storms that may snap trees and drop 15 inches (38 centimeters) of rain in higher elevations.

By the time the three storms end this weekend, San Francisco may receive 6 inches of rain and be whipped by winds of 35 to 45 miles (56 to 72 kilometers) per hour, said Logan Johnson, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Monterey, California...


Gale warnings stretch from Olympia, Washington, to central California and high-wind warnings and watches reach from Oregon to Monterey, south of San Francisco. The California Emergency Management Agency urged residents to prepare for power failures and mudslides and to plot escape routes in case of flooding...


Johnson said the first storm will arrive late today with high winds and about 0.5 inch of rain for San Francisco. The next two storms are expected to drench the region for the rest of the week.

The heavy rain may trigger mudslides, especially in areas where there have been wildfires, according to Ghilarducci. At elevations higher than 2,000 feet, wind may gust to 60 mph, Johnson said.

A large trough of low pressure that developed off the West Coast is acting as a conveyor to bring the storm systems in from the southwest to the northeast through the weekend, Johnson said. While the wind and rain won’t be as severe in southern California, the coast there is expected to be buffeted by high surf.

If the forecast models bear out, the storms may be some of the worst of the year, he said.

That was winter of 1982-83. Ducks were swimming around in the Stanford oval.

Doesn't this remind you of the hype and prep before the Sandy hit?

maybe just me, but it feels scripted

And THIS is why you stock up on food now, children!

"Hype and prep"?? Didn't it turn out to be as bad or worse than people were warned?

Is this Arkstorm warning including San Diego & La Mesa area??

No

Tks...good to know.

Be prepared for quite a bit of rain as well. Hope you have your rubber boots ready!

Isn't it possible that even though the lower elevations are expected to receive less rainfall, they could be impacted by possile mudslides from the extremely heavy rain expected at the higher elevations? This would worry me more than flooded basements and streets. Imagine.

Shitholes like San Fran and Redneck need a giant douching anyway

the calendar is the calendar for this December....

All Drill no thrill.

I would consider landslides a very high possibility.
