US Geological Survey scientists predict that the storm could last 40 days, producing up to 10-feet of rain and causing $300 billion worth of flooding damage, which would make it the most destructive storm in California's modern history.
National Weather Service images show an atmospheric river system - a huge hose-like flow of Pacific Ocean moisture - moving onto the state increasing the risk of the winter weather phenomenon.
The storm scenario, combining prehistoric geologic flood history with modern flood mapping and climate-change projections, was released at an ARkStorm Summit in Sacramento, California last week.
The scenario suggests that a quarter of houses in the Golden State could be battered by flooding.
Weather experts say the statewide weather event, which strikes once every 100-200 years could bring an unprecedented scale of destruction. There is also a considerable risk of wind damage to the eastern part of the state, according to chief scientist Lucy Jones.
The last superstorm hit California between 1861 and 1862, but scientists predict that the threat of another one looms closer as weather patterns become more volatile, due to rising temperatures in the atmosphere.
US Geological Survey Director, Marcia McNutt said: "The time to begin taking action is now, before a devastating natural hazard event occurs. This scenario demonstrates firsthand how science can be the foundation to help build safer communities. The ARkStorm scenario is a scientifically vetted tool that emergency responders, elected officials and the general public can use to plan for a major catastrophic event to help prevent a hazard from becoming a disaster."
Jones added: "This is not just a Californian problem. There will be disruption to ports and transportation systems. The economic impact will be felt across the country."
"For a storm which can cause four times as much damage as earthquakes, Californians are less aware of risks they face from floods."
Federal and state emergency management officials met last week to discuss emergency preparations for possible superstorms.

Those aligned with our Creator Source, Divine Light, and follow and live by the laws of Creation will be allowed on to the starship Phoenix, all the other will have to make a choice but when its only 15 minutes to evacuations done,and there are brim and fire,water and erruptions, it would be kinda difficult so the choice is now friends.
There will be other ships in the skies too, it will just not be sent by our divine Source Creator but by our governments man made crafts to ship you on straight to destruction and or their co-workers that will do the same.
why wont the Creator allow anybody that dont believe in him and follow his laws in to the universe? because it would create even more destruction and chaos further,in space,and thats not tolerable to him. Thats why we end up in this s-t at first place. Oh yes, the elite knows all about it,but wont tell you,friends! They even got the tech stuff to ride it off bu wont do so, but will take their own little nice ship and try to get away. what do they plan to do with all of you? making you slaves under the evil elite leadership. and depopulate half of earths ppl.
the photonbelt is coming. its happening in each cycle. Dont be afraid but take precautions,

Remember march 21st 2013. An awesome adventure awaits. You will be given three choices, Worm tunnel, stay where you are and perish, or go on u.f.o ships and get sucked into another 26000 year old paradigm. The rest you figure it out.
I had a reoccuring dream, on 22 saturday, 23 sunday and 24 monday, january 2011, I dreamt people were hopping onto oil tankers and cargo ships as they were washed out to sea and these tankers and cargo ships were the only boats strong enough to handle tsunamis around the australian coast lines, this consists with the realigning of the pole shift back to original position of polarity. No more wobbling of the earth.
I hopped outside tonight 27th january 2011 and just before i looked outside into the night sky heaps of ufo's showed up and let me know i knew that they were there. I think they are aware of me sharing information to as many people as i can reach out to. They know i have been teching people about chemtrails and i can feel them and they are well pleased i am.
Someone had to grab the torch and shine it on their minds.
I would rather Die; Trying!...... Then To Live; Dying?
Well, its been predicted my many that California and New york was going to dissappear as we approach the 'End' Times. Could this be the begining? I do believe nothing is written in stone and predictions may not happen. It's up us too to stop any disasters by rising our higher consciousness to love and light and pray. All religions also predict natural disasters. Hope it does not happen.
Thankyou for the posting.
