California will get snow and possibly two months worth of rain from back-to-back-to-back 'atmospheric rivers'

 In reading about all this it seems that 3 storms are hitting between now and next Wednesday bringing unheard of amounts of rain in the history of May Rain in California. So, within a week we could be getting two months worth of rain in one week in these three storms. Because of where I am the wifi isn't very good so I deleted most of the article but thought you might like to see the weather maps which are extraordinary regarding Atmospheric rivers. also, eventually we likely will see another article from Wikipedia regarding what happened in 1862 which is bound to happen eventually in California (or worse) at some point in the next 50 to 100 years.

The Great Flood of 1862 was the largest flood in the recorded history of Oregon, Nevada, and California, ...... The Cattle on a Thousand Hills: Southern California1850–1880. Huntington Library; University of California Press. p. 128.
