"The Middle Fork of the Eel River at Dos Rios "

My creek ends up there, via Long Valley Creek.

"Lower Eel River at Scotia the flows were still climbing as of press time with flows at 30,000 cubic feet per second"

Christmas flood of 1964

Over 22 inches (550 mm) of rain fell on the Eel River basin in a span of two days. By December 23, 752,000 cubic feet per second (21,300 m3/s) of water rushed down the Eel River at Scotia (still upstream from the confluence of the Van Duzen River), [6] 200,000 cubic feet per second (5,660 m3/s) more than the 1955 flood, and more than the average discharge of the entire Mississippi River basin.

California Governor Pat Brown was quoted as saying that a flood of similar proportions could "happen only once in 1,000 years," and it was often referred to later as the Thousand Year Flood.[1]

I was at Cal, and we were running a physiology experiment which required data collection (measuring radioactivity in a lab rodent) during Xmas vacation. Crossing the Bay Bridge, you could see a clearly defined river of mud coming from the Sacramento-San Joaquin. Have a friend who lived in Ukiah, and she said the Russian almost took out the GP logging deck.
