Don't forget that the impact by hydraulic mining in the 1860s-1875 or so,
irreparably modified the American-Sacramento Rivers' inland delta by
raising the streambed something like 15 feet, I've read. I think the 1862
flood may have been slightly influenced by the hydromodification,
We live in Fairfield and have friends who moved to the pocket area. There
is a standing arrangement that we can evacuate to their house in case of
fire and they can come to ours in case of flood. In the last few years we
are at Fire = 2 and Flood = 0, but we are keeping the guest room ready

Get some photos of the rack line in between flood/release events to gauge
river heights. A fun hydrologic exercise while riding. Rack line? The
topmost line of organic and anthropogenic debris parallel to flow deposited
on river bank/levee. Lower flood levels will result
