As a Davis resident, I was curious to get a more detailed map of the flood areas for a hypothetical ARkStorm than the one provided by the Wikipedia article on the topic [1]. To that end, I created an animation, morphing between a google maps screen-cap, and the USGS map of the flood areas [2]. I didn't get the alignment just right, but from the look of it Woodland would appear to be underwater (at least, according to this USGS flood model). That all said, is there really any evidence that a strong El Niño has anything at all to do with an ARkStorm? The Wikiepdia article on The Great Flood of 1862 [3] has this to say: "The weather pattern that caused this flood was not from an El Nino [sic]".
