"You're probably not used to deluges like that being in California but they are common." Our introduction to Mendocino Co. was the Valentine's Day storm of '86. We got at least 25 inches in 3 days, and no telling how much we lost to an overflowing 5" gauge at night. My wettest year was the 97-98 El Nino, 120 inches. Even during the drought, I got 7 inches overnight a few years ago, and there was some flash-flood damage in town. The worst flooding for the state happens when we get a (warm) pineapple express raining on the Sierra snow pack. That, of course, requires snow, something which we haven't seen much of lately.
