Dan Swain (darned good climatologist, author of the blog Weather West) on Ark Storms and Atmospheric Rivers:

His paper is here, but just abstract:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-018-0140-y behind a paywall which, just as a side note is totally &*@^&%&!^%@ed for what's really publicly funded research. However, I recommend SciHub, which I've found useful to get papers otherwise paywalled.

Anyway, Swain et al speculate that the return interval of the 1862 type California flood may, instead of the previous 1,000 year interval, may actually be 100 or 200 years. The Central Valley would be utterly wiped out were that to recur.
