2. Thousands of people and 1/4 all the cattle in California died and/or were washed out to sea or both by the water in the 1861&2 floods.

4. The state of California went bankrupt as a state directly because of this flood.
5. The capital in Sacramento was moved to San Francisco because Sacramento was under 10 feet of muddy dirty water for over 6 months time and could ONLY be safely navigated by boat during this time.
