The Great Flood of 1862 was the largest flood in the recorded history of Oregon, Nevada, and California, occurring from December 1861 to January 1862, caused by an ARkStorm. It was preceded by weeks of continuous rains and snows in the very high elevations that began in Oregon in November 1861 and continued into January 1862. This was followed by a record amount of rain from January 9–12, and contributed to a flood that extended from the Columbia River southward in western Oregon, and through California to San Diego, and extended as far inland as Idaho in the Washington Territory, Nevada and Utah in the Utah Territory, and Arizona in the western New Mexico Territory. The ARkStorm dumped an equivalent of 10 feet of rainfall in California, in the form of rain and snow, over a period of 43 days.[1][2] Immense snowfalls in the mountains of the far western United States caused more flooding in Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, and Sonora, Mexico the following spring and summer as the snow melted.

The event was capped by a warm intense storm that melted the high snow load. The resulting snow-melt flooded valleys, inundated or swept away towns, mills, dams, flumes, houses, fences, and domestic animals, and ruined fields. It has been described as the worst disaster ever to strike California.[3]


If this happened again, it would totally be credited to climate change.

Part of it is the leftoids yearning for a replacement religion once they renounced God and went down the road of hate for the straight white male Christian. We used to attribute supernormal or such massive events to acts of God (or nature), but now there needs to be somebody to be blamed since they claim to know everything. Same with data that shows modern womyn are unhappy, rather than accepting the fact that nature / God have their own ways of setting genetics in certain ways that cannot be changed it's the fault ow the man that they're unhappy with the mess they created. The left is crumbling.

What happened to all the ice from the Ice Age?

We are still in the receding part of the last Ice Age.

The climate warmed & melted it. Great example of climate change.

It melted, uncovering forests and fauna, and even some homesteads in Greenland, from before the last ice age.

Do you deny that the climate changes?
