You didn't really touch bases with the history of Sacramento....a full documentary would be nice. There is so much more.

[@FastRunner-gg6zw]

the documentary talks about a scenario that could happen again in california. It's called the ARk storm and involves a tremendous amount of rainfall (like it was back in 1861-1862) that flood much of the central valley (sacramento obviously included). These mega floods happen about every 200 or 300 years. at least unlike with earthquakes there should be plenty of warning.

Delta breeze at 11:53 😂

That was a serious glossing-over of ethnic cleansing. Good video otherwise.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking… there were three large natives tribes that got killed by disease then chased away by construction companies.
