Claude had a field day with the hyperbole (my word) and projections from the article, especially as ocean temps in the Pacific have only been reliably monitored for 50 to 75 years. Tough to project a 1 in 4000 year event with such little base data.

If one of the assumptions is that it double or quadruples the chance of a catastrophic CA flood holds, the state is well overdue for one.  

Without getting political, I don't think the state is prepared for one. A while back, I had an interesting conversation with one of the lead experts at Contra Costa Flood Control. Basically when it hits, we are in deep trouble, as much of the county was under water then, and it wasn't as bad as what happened to the Central Valley and the LA Basin. . ..
