LarryUK Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I saw on Yahoo last week something about a massive storm hitting California. With 10ft of rain and equivalent to four earthquakes. What is it and when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampa Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It happened in 1862 to a slightly lesser extent and the Central Valley became an inland sea 20 miles wide and 200 miles long. There is evidence of the same in the past. It could happen again, this time in a more heavily populated area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I thought the article I read said it 'Was' going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 That would be fine with me if they flooded the Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampa Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I thought the article I read said it 'Was' going to happen. Â They are making a prediction based on current weather and past history. Like all predictions it is a maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the industrial revolution? and internal combustion engines? Imagine that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampa Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Something like a mega-storm could happen at any time, Eastern Australia as an example. The landscape there handles the normal rain OK but this huge amount they have had lately in the mountains to the west overwhelmed the drainage system and now they are under water.
