The city wound up on the receiving end of 24 inches total over the course of a month. (By comparison, SF and Oakland have so far received 13 and a half inches of rain from these recent atmospheric rivers.) Sacramento had it far worse, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, 1862, the \u003cem>Sacramento Bee\u003c/em> reported that the “condition of the state” was “watery” — “a vast seas such as was never before witnessed here, and this entire district has become a series of desolation.” Between the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, “what movable property such as houses and fences that the water might have left, was broken up and scattered by the joint action of wind and waves.” Livestock losses devastated the entire region. To offer assistance to their neighbors in the north, San Francisco quickly sent $5,000 in cash and “cooked provisions” to Sacramento. That was despite the fact that weather-related issues abounded in San Francisco even two months after the widespread floods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On March 22, 1862, the \u003cem>Weekly Butte Democrat\u003c/em> reported a new disaster. “On Friday morning last, a lake, which has been forming in the vicinity of the Mission, among the hills, burst its banks and rushed forth in vast volume of water, tearing away gardens, banks, fences in its course. The pond, or lake, was nearly half a mile long and a quarter of a mile wide and over twenty feet deep. About 100 feet of the Market Street Railroad was carried away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite what you might have heard, the Bay Area has not seen floods this bad ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>1904\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13923676\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13923676\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/opensfhistory_wnp32.0307-800x466.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white image of classic San Francisco trolley running through an empty flooded street.\" width=\"800\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/opensfhistory_wnp32.0307-800x466.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/opensfhistory_wnp32.0307-160x93.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/opensfhistory_wnp32.0307-768x447.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/opensfhistory_wnp32.0307.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A United Railroads streetcar trundles through a flooded 16th Street (facing towards South Van Ness). \u003ccite>(OpenSFHistory / wnp32.0307)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In September 1904, 3.25 inches of rain fell in San Francisco in 24 hours, breaking a city record.
