Several times over the past two months we've written about the historic floods that have descended upon California during the 2016-2017 rainy season (see here and here for some examples). In fact, the flooding was so severe that it very nearly caused the complete failure of a major dam in Northern California and resulted in the evacuation of 200,000 residents in neighboring cities (see "Nearly 200,000 People Are Evacuating Over "Imminent Failure" Of California's Oroville Dam - Live Feeds").
Needless to say, per the following chart, 2016/2017 was the wettest year that has been recorded in the state of California in decades and likely one of the wettest ever.
