So… maybe someone can explain this to me because my own research seems to come up kind of flat.
The statements being passed around are that every 150 yrs (or so) there’s a giant flood of storm. Because it happened 150 yrs ago. But I can’t find anything about it happening 150 yrs before that. And so on. So if a thing has only happened once and then it happens again - that maketh not a pattern. 3 times and maybe we’re getting somewhere.
Because by the same token, we can say that “Every 150 yrs this country has an incredible schism” or something. After all, the civil war was 150 yrs ago. And today… well, today. Of course, 150 yrs before that… um, in 1700… um… this country…
Anyhow… weather data for California from 1650-1700? Or is it mere journalistic hyperbole?
