1862 California
The largest flood in California history occurred 9-12 January 1862 - called the “Great Flood”
Beginning on December 24, 1861, it rained for almost four weeks. Created an inland sea in Orange County, lasting about three weeks with water standing four feet deep up to four miles from the river.

Inundated the entire Sacramento and San Joaquin
Valleys an extent of 250-300 miles,
averaging 20 miles in breadth.

The worst flood since Sacramento's founding prompts residents to raise the downtown area up to fifteen feet between 1862-1869. The tunnels under present-day Sacramento are remainders of the original downtown buildings and streets.
