El Niño raises flood risk
Experts say California’s flood risk this winter will depend largely on the strength, location and duration of atmospheric rivers; a strong El Niño may increase the chance of severe, repeated storms but does not guarantee them. Scientists warn that weeks of heavy precipitation could produce an ARkStorm-like flood, though modern flood controls mean a repeat of the 1861–62 disaster is unlikely to cause damage on the same scale.
