Original Note:
The last sentence is misleading. This has happened in 1858, 1939, 1976 & 1997, just to name a few. The gist of the tweet is correct - but to say this has *never* happened before is blatantly false. https://www.wikipedia.com/en/Hurricane_Kathleen https://www.wikipedia.com/en/1858_San_Diego_hurricane https://water.ca.gov/News/Blog/2022/January/1997-New-Years-Floods https://web.archive.org/web/20140103122826/http://www.fema.gov/disaster/521
