Christmas flood of 1964 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
"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), 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." - Amit Patel
I looked this up because I saw a rogue forecast (GFS model) for this weekend saying up to **25 inches of rain** for northern california. Insane, right? Inconceivable, right? And yet … something similar happened not that long ago. - Amit Patel
Good luck to that forecast - Louis Gray
