Weren't there massive floods, in the Bay Area, last year?

The Bay Area is the size of Massachusetts. Depends on where in the Bay.

  • I guess I'm wrong. It was south of the Bay area. I live in NY, but I remember hearing from friends in CA that it got very bad.

    I think this story is only the latest one:

    • That article is about flooding that is about as far from the Bay Area as Suffolk, VA is from New York City.

      It's in California but California is...large. Especially along the North-South axis.

    • Same with SoCal - it's the size of NY State. CA's big and somewhat evenly populated (at least compared to similar states out east) so there's inevitably some form of environmental issue somewhere. Not to minimize these incidents ofc.
