Have you heard about ARkStorm's?
Forget Earthquakes. THIS Is What Could Doom California
A Joe Scott vid - Sunken towns around the world & a focus on Calif.
He has few dozen source links beneath the vid.
ARkStorm (for Atmospheric River 1,000) shows geologic evidence indicating that other "megafloods" occurred in the California region in the following years: 212, 440, 603, 1029, c. 1300, 1418, 1605, 1750, 1810, and, most recently, 1861–62. Scientists believe the California flood of 1605 to be the worst flood in the region in the past 2,000 years.
Depending where you read, historic recurrence of, on average, every 100-200 years...150-200 years...and a 2022 update. So, we are perhaps overdue.
ARkStorm Scenario. Are we prepared? No, of course not.
A 3 minute film from 2011 describing the ARkStorm scenario by director, Theo Alexopolous, and DesignMatters, Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. The ARkStorm scenario led by the USGS and hundreds of scientists and experts from many disciplines details impacts of a scientifically plausible storm similar to the Great California Storm of 1862 in the modern day. The scenario led to several important scientific advancements and will be used by emergency and resource managers to improve partnerships and emergency preparedness.

Quote:It's a weird thing to think about, but all around the world there are towns at the bottom of lakes. Many are from reservoirs and dams built to generate power or clean water for cities, but some were from insane natural disasters. Here we talk about some of the most interesting sunken towns in the world, and a potential disaster on the horizon in California called ARkStorm that could sink hundreds of towns and threaten millions of lives.
