The super flood of 1862 changed Southern California forever. Another flood is past due.

On January 18th, 1862 it started to rain in Southern California and did not stop for 43 days. The event dropped an equivalent of 10 feet of rain. The area’s history and environment were forever changed. Even with the drought, experts say such a combination of atmospheric rivers can happen again and the state is past due.
