Thanks for that really interesting story, of which I wasn't aware.

Alas, I wasn't alive in 1862, but I was living in Roble along with at least one other participant on this board during the 1982-83 year. It rained cats-and-dogs well into the spring. At one point some of us thought that Lake Lag--right next to Roble--might overflow. My Huffy didn't have any fenders so on many occasions I attended class with a wet stripe on my back.

Glad somebody appreciated it. Work with a non-profit in the East Bay, and we have been doing a project with Contra Costa County Flood Control for years. One of the managers pointed me to the history of the floods and told me it will happen again. Am fascinated by what happened, especially that the Native Americans knew to move to higher ground before the floods hit; they knew simply through their oral history and by observing what was going on.

Also, I graduated in '83. Quite rainy indeed.
