Every 200 years of so the entire Central Valley becomes an inland sea due to
massive rain. The last time it happened was 1862 when the entire Central Valley was under 30 feet of water. Over 43 days the state received 10 feet of rain in some places. 4000 people died (one percent of the entire population). One third of all property in the state was destroyed
